About this race

Feed Northland Kids is once again partnering with the family of Bill Cross to raise money for our food security programs.  Did you know that over 12,000 children in Clay and Platte County are food insecure, meaning they do not have reliable access to affordable and nutritious food?  You can help!  The Bill Cross 5k will be held in Zona Rosa on Sunday October 11, 2026 at 8:00AM.  The run is in memory of Bill Cross, former Mayor of Gladstone and devoted teacher, coach, administrator, mentor and role model for more than 35,000 area students.  All funds raised from this event will support Feed Northland Kids programs including our Food Pantries and Community Food Kits.  Together, we can ensure that children in our community have the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and thrive!
