KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs will host the inaugural Chiefs 5K at Arrowhead Stadium at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 18, allowing participants to finish the race on the 50-yard line, running through the tunnel to the field like Chiefs players do on game day.

Registration on the day before the race and on event day is $45. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit The United Way of Greater Kansas City.

All participants for the Chiefs 5K will receive a one-of-a-kind Chiefs 5K finisher's medal and a commemorative t-shirt. Participants will be able to partake in a post-race celebration that will include music, KC Wolf and other special Chiefs guests.
