Semi-quincentennial Celebrations - 2026 ONLY!
Honoring America250
Join our semi-quincentennial celebration! Our theme centers on the original flag. The event is held on the 13th, and our t-shirt design will feature the circle of 13 stars. The event will emphasize local history and national pride, featuring a "Most Patriotic" costume contest and other patriotic regalia along the course.
Honoring our Veterans
Special for 2026, race organizers will donate $1 for every participant back to the Kansas Veterans Home Benefit Fund. Located right on World War II Memorial Drive (our race course!), this home serves those who defended the nation’s independence. The Benefit Fund is used for resident activities, outings, and special supplies that improve the quality of life for local veterans.
