Excel Constructors sponsored the 33rd annual Children’s TLC Groundhog Run 5k on January 25th, 2015. This years event raised more than $243,000 for the 300+ Kansas City area children with special needs that Children’s TLC serves. The proceeds will help these children receive life changing therapy and early education necessary for them to meet their individual milestones and move on to their next school environment.
As the largest annual fundraiser for Children’s TLC, the Groundhog Run has raised over $4 million for children with special needs since its inception in 1982. The race is one of very few 5k races, and believed to be the only 100% underground sanctioned 10k race in the nation. With a consistent temperature of 65 to 68 degrees, the Hunt Midwest SubTropolis is the ideal venue for runners from all over the country to compete in this annual winter event.
