Über die Veranstaltung
This event will open the opportunity to acknowledge the reality of suicide, honor those that we've lost, honor those that have survived, encourage dialogue and conversation, and begin to shift the culture, perceptions and beliefs regarding suicide. Together, we can spread the message that suicide is preventable and the support is out there. Let us take the pledge to accept zero! #AcceptZero
Money raised from this event is used for increased training and education throughout the community on suicide through free Question, Persuade, Response (QPR) trainings to businesses, churches, schools, and individuals. Additionally, funds will also be available to those individuals who may be experiencing thoughts to end their life so that they can seek support and treatment without the additional worry about finances which may include rent due to eviction notices, utilities being shut off, basic needs due to loss of income, no insurance, and past due medical/hospital bills.
Race Details:Accept Zero 5k : Ages 5 and up to be timed runner/walker. Swag bags to include race day t-shirt (shirt not guaranteed after March 21st!) and Accept Zero wrist bands.
Youth Fun Run (Ages 12 and under) – 8:30am - Join Kansas City Chief's mascot KC WOLF for an exciting dash to the finish with our Youth Fun Run. Children ages 12 and under will have a short race to start off the morning’s events. Every child to cross the finish line will receive a medal to remember the day and a high five for getting involved!
Virtual Race: Enjoy the convenience of running the race any day or time and on whatever course you desire. You can run or walk on a road or treadmill and either alone or with a group of friends. Then, simply upload your results to the site. Packets, medals and shirts (if you registered before the t-shirt deadline) will be mailed prior to the race (pending shirt arrival).
Teams of 4 or more: Recruit some friends to join you on race day! Creating a team requires setting a password that you will send out to those who want to join your team.

Price per team member increases on March 3rd, 2025 to $35 per team member and on April 1st, 2025 to $40.
