Nolan Davidson Champions Run
About this race
The name NOLAN means "champion" and the 2nd annual Nolan Davidson Champion's Run was 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.
With last year's race proceeds, the Nolan Davidson Foundation was able to donate $30,000 to KC Fusion Soccer Club for youth scholarships, fully fund the Foundry Church’s Club 45 youth group nights for fourth and fifth graders, and donate over 1,000 toys to Children’s Mercy Hospital.
We look forward to continuing our support this year to these programs as well as providing four KC metro high school cross country runners each a $1,000 scholarship. Your support will have a direct and positive impact by supporting the next generation of athletes, accessibility to church activities for youth, and gifts for hospitalized children.
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.
