Course

Patients with cancer face many challenges and obstacles while coping with their illness. In designing our course we believe we have developed a challenging but fair 5K course starting and ending at our prostate cancer center. The course includes a downhill run going North on Nall from 107th Street to the Overland Park Trail; runners will then head East along the trail to Roe Park; make the Roe Park loop and head back to the prostate cancer center. The return trip from Roe Park includes an uphill run, designed to help people understand and remember the challenges that cancer patients go through during their fight. Even when you are tired, there are still uphill battles in life.
