I registered but can’t participate. Can I transfer my registration to next year or give it to a friend?
No. We’re sorry, but there are no refunds and registrations must be used this year by the person who registered.

​

I have friends who would like to help. How can they volunteer?
That’s great! Ask them to email us at pilgrim@pilgrimcenterinc.org. We'll put them to work!

​

What charitable organization will my participation benefit?
ALL PROCEEDS (not canned food collected, not a percentage of profits, but ALL PROCEEDS) of the Pilgrim Run 5K benefit the community programs of the Pilgrim Center. Each year the Center presents free programming like the Spring Frolic and Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday and the month-long Hyde Park Film Festival, Fridays in June. This year we pivoted our services due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partnered with the Kansas City Community Gardens, and distributed 1,500+ free food plants to people in our community, including fresh kitchen and medicinal herbs and salad greens. We offered concerts and dance performances at our Pilgrim Labyrinth & Butterfly Garden, and we will continue to tailor our programming to the needs of our community as we enter the uncertainty of 2021.
