RUN FOR CHILDREN’S MERCY HOSPITAL!
Giving back to the Kansas City medical community is the root of who we are at the Hospital Hill Run. By taking part in the Hospital Hill Run, a portion of your entry, along with 100% of your fundraising efforts, go to the I Love Children’s Mercy Fund. Make your miles count in 2023 by becoming an individual or team fundraiser.
John Garrison, who participated in every Hospital Hill Run except the first, was a beloved figure in Kansas City’s running community and mentor to many, including his accomplished runner daughters, Laura Marriott and Marty Garrison. Sadly, John passed away last year after the 49th Annual Hospital Hill Run. In his honor, the Hospital Hill Run will award the 1120th finisher, reflecting John’s fastest Half Marathon time of 1:12.
