The Kansas City Chiefs and Arrowhead Events are hosting the 6th Annual Red Friday Run presented by GEHA to coincide with the club’s yearly Red Friday celebration on Friday September 5th. This year’s edition of the race remains virtual and will add to festivities leading up to the 2025-2026 NFL season prior to the Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday September 7, 2025.

As part of the race registration, participants will receive this year’s special edition Red Friday flag benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City (RMHC-KC), and a Red Friday Run t-shirt mailed directly to the address provided during registration. In true Red Friday fashion, a portion from each registration will be donated to RMHC-KC.

With no official racecourse for this year’s event, Chiefs fans throughout the country and all over the world can participate virtually with the option to complete the 5K however they choose, including running or walking in their neighborhood, in a local park, on a nature trail or from their treadmill. 

While Friday September 5th serves as the official day of the Red Friday 5K, the virtual race will be open on Wednesday, August 8th  and will conclude on Sunday September 7th. Once participants complete the 5K, they’re asked to take a photo in their Chiefs/Red Friday 5K gear with their Red Friday flag and post it on social media using #RedFriday.

The 2025 Red Friday Run presented by GEHA marks the 17th team-sponsored 5K run/walk for the Chiefs and Arrowhead Events and is designed to give all Chiefs fans the opportunity to connect with the team, even virtually. Whether you run or walk, finish with the fastest time, or just run for fun, the Red Friday 5K is designed for everyone to enjoy.
