5K/1K Fun Run

Thank you to all who attended our 2021 event! We look forward to seeing you again next year at Worlds of Fun!

View 2021 race results here.

Looking for a fun way to give back with your family? Join Autism Society - The Heartland for our 4th annual 5K/1K Fun Run May 1, 2021 by attending in-person or virtually! This event gives participants the opportunity to run or walk a 5k or 1k course at Worlds of Fun, or your own path. In-person runners will take their mark as they proceed through and around Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, giving participants exclusive access and viewpoints of the park and their favorite attractions. This Kansas City 5K begins the first heat at 8:00 a.m. followed by the 1K at 8:15 a.m.

All registered 5k participants will receive a t-shirt, finisher’s medal, and be chip timed! All registered 1k participants will receive a t-shirt! Sponsorship, vendor, and volunteer opportunities will all be available!

The first 300 full-price 5K participants who register will receive a FREE Worlds of Fun ticket to use after the race and before September 6, 2021. This FREE Worlds of Fun ticket does not include Oceans of Fun. Participants will still be required to pay for parking when redeeming their FREE ticket.

Special pricing for the 5k and 1k is available to our families with PAID ASH Memberships. Please contact our office (913-706-0042) to get the special discount codes.

Thank you to our 2021 5K/1K Fun Run Sponsors!
