Event Description

The name NOLAN means "champion" and the Nolan Davidson Champion's Run is an inaugural race established to celebrate Nolan Davidson and the spirit of competition and determination in which he lived his life. On December 7th 2023, Nolan tragically passed away from injuries sustained from a drunk driving accident. Nolan's love for sports and compassion for others left a lasting impact on his school community and the Kansas City youth soccer community.

One of Nolan's biggest passions in life was his KC Fusion soccer team. Proceeds from the race will go towards the Nolan Davidson Foundation, which will be partnering with KC Fusion Soccer Club to provide youth soccer scholarships. We are excited for the opportunity to be able to have a direct and positive impact by supporting the next generation of soccer players and helping make the sport more accessible to everyone.

This family friendly event will offer an opportunity for all ability levels with a 5k, 10k, and 1.10 mile run. Bring your family, friends, and teammates out to join us in celebrating Nolan Davidson. Runners, walkers and stroller riders are all welcome! The race will start and finish at Children's Mercy Park and loop around the Kansas Speedway. 

All registered participants will receive a complimentary Nolan Davidson Champion's Run t-shirts and all finishers will receive a custom race medal.
