    Running Through the Generations: Village Shalom's Father's Day Tradition
    May 19 2025
    This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we celebrate the perfect Father's Day gift – a community run with purpose. We're joined by an inspiring panel from Village Shalom retirement and memory care facility in Overland Park, as they prepare for their annual Father's Day 5K & 10K on June 15, 2025. Board Chair Bob Gerson shares the heart behind this tradition, while we're treated to wisdom and wonderful stories from 95-year-old running legend Alan Poisner, whose presence alone proves that movement truly is the fountain of youth. Representatives Hope Howe and Ben Heisler complete our roundtable, offering insights into Village Shalom's mission, the race's evolution, and what makes this course uniquely special. From the facility's rich history of compassionate care to the inclusive nature of this multi-generational event, our conversation highlights how this isn't just another 5K or 10K – it's a celebration of fathers, families, and the joy of movement at every stage of life. Whether you're looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Father's Day, curious about racing well into your 90s, or simply want to support a worthy cause, this episode will inspire you to lace up and register for this June 15th tradition that brings the Kansas City running community together across all ages.

  • Running for Awareness: The Critical Mission of the Fighting Fentanyl 5K

    Running for Awareness: The Critical Mission of the Fighting Fentanyl 5K
    May 12 2025
    This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we bring you a conversation that transcends running and touches on an urgent public health crisis affecting our communities. We sit down with Libby Davis, founder of "Keepin' Clean for Coop" and the Cooper Davis Memorial Foundation, who shares the heartbreaking story behind her mission after losing her son to fentanyl poisoning. Libby reveals the shocking reality that Kansas leads the nation in fentanyl-related deaths per capita among 15-19 year olds, and how a lethal dose is small enough to fit on a pencil tip. We discuss the upcoming Fighting Fentanyl 5K on June 14th at Mill Valley High School – not just a race, but a powerful movement combining fitness with life-saving education. Learn how last year's event helped put awareness ads in front of Kansans over 9 million times, and how the new team registration option is building community support. This episode goes beyond typical race coverage to address a crisis every parent, educator, and community member needs to understand. Whether you're joining the 5K or simply want to protect your loved ones, this conversation about youth mental health, deceptive social media drug sales, and prevention strategies could literally save lives in your circle.
