Candy Cane Course- Lee's Summit

Candy Cane Course- Lee's Summit is a family-oriented holiday race in the Kansas City, Missouri, area on December 19, 2026, with a 9:00 a.m. start for all five formats: a 15K, a 10K, a 5K, a one-mile, and a children's dash. Registration includes a personalized bib, a designer shirt, and a medal, and the timed races use chip timing with live results. Free photos and treats are part of the finish, a virtual option is available, and children can enter the dash free of charge without the swag.

Having five distances on one start line makes this easy to plan around a group with mixed fitness. Seasoned runners can take the 15K as a long, controlled effort; anyone building back can walk or run the mile; the 5K sits in between and needs only a few weeks of preparation.
