Rock The Parkway Half Marathon

We are having the Heartland 39.3 swag pickup on Saturday at the KC Running Company store in Martin City from 10-4 and we are pulling out the 2020 RTP shirts and medals too for a last chance pickup for all virtual participants too.

Thank you to the incredible Team Children’s Mercy fundraisers who virtually Rocked the Parkway and raised more than $250 to support the hospital: Kristi Murdock, Melissa Beals, Jack Bolan Legacy, Kristopher Henkhaus, Matt & Madelyn Hall, Phillip Bosch and Sara Gravlin. You guys ROCK!

A special shout out to this special fundraising team!

Thanks to our volunteers who helped us with packet pickup today! Packet pickup continues tomorrow from noon to 5pm at Burns & McDonnell.

You might check your inbox for that email you give when you register for races as we have sent out information about packet pick up this weekend.

Less than 100 spots left in the 2021 half and 5K for 2020 registrants to transfer to if that is their preference. Refer back to the email we sent you a couple of weeks ago with the steps to get that done.

If you are planning to transfer your 2020 registration to the 2021 half or 5K, don’t wait, as spots are running out. Check the email we sent to registrants for the steps required to make the transfer.

If you are registered to participate in the 2020 Rock the Parkway event on August 29, check your inbox for important information about the event! You may need to take prompt action to take advantage of options being offered!

Looking for a way to stay motivated this Summer?

The Heartland 15K Series medals are in and they look pretty good! Let [email protected] know if you would like to add this Series, including this medal and the Heartland 15K shirt, to your 2020 RTP 5K registration!

We are hearing from some of you who are having trouble switching your registration to the Rock the Parkway Virtual Half Marathon or Virtual 5K. This is a process called "Transfer Event". Here is a link to a quick tutorial that might help. https://help.runsignup.com//17000062922-transfer-to-anothe This not a tutorial on how you "Transfer to Another Race "(such as Longview Half Marathon). It is a tutorial on how to "Transfer to another Event" (such as the RTP Virtual 5K or Virtual Half Marathon) within this race.

More than sixty people or groups of people have signed up to raise funds for Children's Mercy as part of their participation in Rock the Parkway. You can support them, or sign up to become a fundraiser too at https://www.rocktheparkway.com/childrens-mercy/.

Today was supposed to be the start of the race weekend, with the Expo kicking off this afternoon, and we are really missing the chance to see everyone and implement our plans for the 11th annual event. Faced with what we are faced with, however, staying home is absolutely the best thing to do. This will dramatically reduce the risk of further spread of the virus and lessen the impact on our friends, family members and others in our community. One advantage to the extra time... between now and the rescheduled date is that it gives you a chance to make a donation to the Children's Mercy Team members who are raising money through their participation, or to become a Team member yourself. Children's Mercy is at the front lines during this difficult time, just like they are every day, helping families with health challenges and emergencies. Make them, if you will, one of the local businesses you support by donating to a Team Member or joining their Team today! https://www.rocktheparkway.com/childrens-mercy/ See more

Did you also register someone else for RTP when you registered yourself and are now having trouble getting them switched to another option after the rescheduling of the date? Here is a link to a tutorial designed to explain how to get that done.
