Prime Viewing spots

Crown Center/Union Station
With the Start/Finish on Grand Blvd. north of Pershing Rd. and the Health & Wellness Expo in Washington Square Park , this will be the hub of activity. The route heads south on Grand through Crown Center before cutting back down Main to Pershing and past Union Station, providing two viewing opportunities just one block apart.

Penn Valley Park/Liberty Memorial
A natural bowl, lots of wide open spaces and a nice climb up Kessler Road will make this a great viewing spot. As an added bonus, the 217-foot-tall Liberty Memorial provides a scenic backdrop. Look for a King of the Mountain line at the top of the hill.

Summit Street/Westside
The street lives up to its name with a serious climb leading to a King of the Mountain line at the top near 17th Street . Expect a festive atmosphere as the Mexican-American community of the West Side neighborhood should provide one of the most spirited crowds of the day.

Sprint Center/Power & Light District
After a $5 billion renaissance, Downtown KC is ready for its close up. The route will pass Sprint Center and wind through the new eight-block Power & Light District, which features more than 40 bars and restaurants. Look for a Sprint Line on Grand Blvd. between 13th & 14th streets.

Berkley Riverfront Park / River Market
Nestled along the Missouri River , this historic neighborhood is known for brick buildings, loft apartments and a bustling farmers market at the 150-year-old City Market. Riders will head north through Berkley Park , which runs along the river. Look for a neighborhood viewing party here.
