Last year’s event proved to be world-class in every sense of the word. Kansas City played a big role in launching the overall success of the event, and look forward to doing so again. With the addition of a women’s event as part of the days festivities, we have event more to look forward to in 2008. And, we are working with organizers to route the course through new places to highlight this great city to the world.
