Join the Victory Run: A Community Fitness Event Supporting Children in Need
Fitness isn’t just about personal well-being; it’s also about coming together as a community to uplift those in need. This spring, join United Fitness Partners and other local organizations for a meaningful 5K run in Kansas City aimed at supporting children facing health challenges.
The Event: Victory Run x Planet Fitness
On May 9th, Sporting Park in Kansas City, KS, will host the Victory Run x Planet Fitness 5K. Participants will receive a medal, a t-shirt, and a custom bib, making this event a great way to celebrate both fitness and community.
