## Resource

This week, while we’re overseas, we’re still showing up for the Kansas City running community with a spotlight episode on the Going the Distance 5K & 10K at Loose Park on Memorial Day (May 25), benefiting the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City. Heather Carbaugh shares what the organization does as a statewide resource hub for brain injury survivors and families, from advocacy and education to support groups and connecting people with services, emphasizing that brain injury is a lifelong journey and far more common than most of us realize. Retired KC Running Company race director Brad Ziegler explains why this event is a true KC classic, a reunion race with a uniquely great location, long history (39 years), and a volunteer-powered mission that deserves bigger attention. We also break down race-day basics (5K, two-loop 10K, one-mile option, kids run), how the proceeds stay local to support survivors, how to get involved as a volunteer, and a special listener discount code for 15% off through St. Patrick’s Day.
