Join us for a fun night on the track at the 2026 Kansas City Metro Mile Championships presented by KC Running Company, Mizuno, and B and B Race KC.  The KC Metro Mile Championships will pit top talent from the area against each other in one of the best competitions of the year!  

The Kids Miles and new Community Mile are non-qualifier events and open to everyone.  The qualifier events have a limited number of entries available, this year we will separate out all entries in the qualifier events to create the best races possible, no race will have more than 24 entries.  Our goal is to have multiple divisions for High School Athletes. Entrants must submit a recent time during registration in order to qualify for those races.  All times submitted will be verified.   If your qualifying time does not make the final cut for your race, you will be refunded your entry fees. 

800M Showcase athletes must apply be submitting times to stevenb@kcrunningcompany.com 

For the Elite Male and Elite Female miles, the top 20 submitted times will be eligible to compete.
