Online registration. Easy to access contact through email if you had any questions. I believe it was in the $25-$20 range. Could sign up for this as part of the re-run, and run the 13.1 or 10k the next day.

Expo was huge, conference center full of vendors. Thursday & Friday before races. No Saturday expo or packet pickup. Included with registration was a bib with your name, timing chip on bib, back pack, race booklet, Chipotle coupons for KC area.

There was parking available in area ramps, and tickets were validated. never had to pay to park.

Evening race. About 75 ish degrees and sunny. Race start was organized by kid pacers, told to line up in "corrals" according to pace.

Race started on time after some announcements and the National Anthem.

Course had lots of hills, nothing steep. Run on the streets of Kansas City. Mostly asphalt, so it was hot! There was one water stop at the half way point with paper cups. Each mile was marked. There were spectators, cheering mostly for family members. One spectator had a hose set up to cool people off.

The finish was marked with the timing clock and an arch. A medal was handed to finishers, along with a cool towel. As you walked through the chute, there were bananas, granola bars, water, chocolate milk, & peanut butter crackers. There was a beer area to redeem the beer tag on the bib. There was also a BBQ sandwich tag to redeem. Plenty of room to hang out post race, friendly atmosphere.

Overall, great race, great organization, tough course.
