Brew to Brew Solo & Relay Race
SUNDAY | APRIL 8, 2018 | Times Vary
Have a blast while you help raise funding to defeat Cystic Fibrosis. Run from The Roasterie in Kansas City to the party in Lawrence on a relay team or on your own!
Benefit Organization: Brew to Brew benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Every runner donates a minimum of $10 to help defeat this dreaded disease. In 2016 The Kansas City Track Club was able to donate $40,000 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The median life expectancy of someone with CF is 37 years, but we are working to add more years. Thank you for your generosity.
