2019 Kansas 811 Run Recap

More than 1,000 people braved the heat for the Kansas 811 Run on Sunday, August 11 in downtown Wichita.
Many local utility companies joined in spreading the 811 message, with 23 sponsors donating to the race and sharing the importance of using the 811-notification system before all digging projects. Without the sponsors, the race could not go on and be such a huge success!
