I have ran this half twice, my first race in Kansas since 1969. What a treat to run on Ward Parkway. I really enjoyed this half. First class.

The story began in the 1950s when a group of local mountaineers and hikers decided to recover the tradition to climb to the Sanctuary of Saint Joan de Penyagolosa from Castellón. This challenge and a project to restore ancient roads and trails resulted in the Senderdela Lluna Plena (Full Moon Trail), GR-33, which connects the city of Castellón with the peak of Saint Joan de Penyagolosa, at 1814 meters of elevation.
In 1996 it went initially from a two-day hike to a single day which marked the birth of the Pujadaaaapeuu Castelló Saint Joan de Penyagolosa. From then until know, it 20 years’ experience of organizing sports events through mountain paths of ancient pilgrimage routes steeped in history and tradition have been added up.
That is how Penyagolosa was born in 1999, an entities association tosynergise human efforts and resources as well as materials that make this race one of the classics in our mountain community and national calendar.
In 2008, the club organized the CampeonatodeEspaña Individual Gran Premio Buff-Salomon) and teams of their national mountain selections. It consist on the Marxa Magdalena Penyeta Roja combining technical route with the magnificent views of the Mediterranean coast.
This annual sports events dates have contributed, largely, to the promotion of the growing passion for the mountain sport and the nature in our regions, and to the dissemination of the natural heritage.
Rock The Parkway
Saturday April 12th, 2025
Kansas City, Mo
Distance: Half Marathon · 5K
Offical Race Web Site
Rock the Parkway was founded in 2010 as a half marathon, 10K and 5K run/walk. The race has been a partnership between KC Running Company and Burns & McDonnell since the beginning, with Burns & McDonnell serving as the host of the event at its world headquarters on Ward Parkway in Kansas City. The partners selected Science City at Union Station as the charity partner and have worked with them since the beginning to support their educational efforts. Science City has opened its doors to race participants during the event weekend for the last several years.
The course for Rock the Parkway has not changed a great deal over the years, and the only significant change with the event occurred when the 10K run/walk was eliminated in 2012 to reduce congestion at the start and finish, improving the race experience for participants. Growing from a first-year response of 3,700 registrants on a cool and wet day in 2010 to nearly 8,500 registrants in 2014, the event is one of the largest running events in the area.
Course records for the half marathon were set by Kim Reed on the women's side (1:16:26) in 2015 and by Joe Moore (1:05:32) in 2015.

"I'd like to recommend adding the Monument Ave 10k to the race list. It's one of the largest 10k races in the country with over 30,000 people registered last year. It generates so much community support and energy I can't imagine not being in the top 100."
