Ainsley's Angels in Kansas

Official race picks from the Ugly Sweater 5k. We are all about our Angel Athlete Riders but the photographer from this race got some”good” ones of our runners too! Those facial expressions!!

For the fifth year in a row Ainsley’s in Central Kansas has kicked off the holiday season with Oz Events at the Ugly Sweater 5k.

We had 4 teams take to the course and finish with hot cocoa, donuts, and pictures with Santa. What a great way to finish our 2023 racing season.

We had two Angel Teams race in the 2 mile Honeysuckle White Turkey Trot.

Team Tara with Angel Runner Sunny and Team Michael with Angel Runners Molly and Grace.

The weather was perfect, the company was good, and fun was had by all!!

We had five teams race this morning at the Gobble Wobble 5k in Haysville.

The weather was perfect for a beautiful fall race.

Team Michael from Central Kansas will be rolling in the Marine Corps Marathon in a very special chariot.

On July 4th of this year, Central Kansas’s Angel Runner Hannah passed away. She lent her legs in several races with her family. Her family chose Ainlsey’s Angels in Central Kansas as the recipient for her Memorial. Donations were used to purchase a Phoenix running chair.

Hannah loved helping our Angel Riders and running with her family.

The Phoenix purchased will be used on Sunday by Team Michael, Kansas’s first Ainlsey’s Angels Team to complete the Marine Corps Marathon.

Our hearts continue to go out to Hannah’s family. We know the chariot she granted us will bring JOY to many Angel Athlete Riders for years to come.

Check out Team Michael from Ainsley’s Angels in Central Kansas racing in this weekend’s Marine Corps Marathon!!
