HOSPITAL HILL RUN (posted June 2nd)

The 52nd annual Hospital Hill Run was held in Kansas City on Saturday.  Hospital Hill is one of the oldest running races in the state--only the Columbia Track Club's Heart of America Marathon, which was first held in 1960, is known to be older.

Three of our local runners, all of whom participated at last year's race, returned to run this year.  Their results are below:

Complete race results can be found here. 

Total participation was down just a bit from 2024.  Shown below are the number of finishers, by race distance, since 2016.  (The anomalous increase in 2023 was due to commemorative jackets and medals being handed out for the race's 50th anniversary.)
