Night Wolf 5K/10K - Kansas City, KS
The Night Wolf 5K/10K is scheduled for July 31, 2026 in Kansas City, KS. The event is the fourth annual edition and is organized by Wyco Wolfpack. It offers single-race options plus a double entry that combines both distances for a 15k total.
Races use bridle trails at Wyandotte County Lake Park. Courses revisit older layouts and run in opposite directions for the two races. Trails are not groomed mountain bike routes and conditions vary by year; mud and standing water have been present in past editions. The 5k has roughly 500 feet of elevation gain and the 10k about 650 feet of gain.
The 5k is described as family friendly and has served as an introduction to trail running for many participants. The 10k includes running in low light; runners should be prepared to navigate the trails in the dark and use a headlamp on the return section.
Logistics note that parking and packet pickup are at Shelter 2 in Wyandotte County Lake Park, and both races start from that location. The event includes overall winner awards for each race and for the combined results by male and female, a random prize drawing, a light piece of swag, and a postrace summer party with pizza and beverages.
