Bill Snyder Highway Half Marathon and 5K

Join us for Manhattan’s only half marathon, the Bill Snyder Highway Half and 5K presented by Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center. The Bill Snyder Highway Half features a beautiful point-to-point route taking you from the rolling Flint Hills into Manhattan and through Campus to finish in front of the Bill Snyder Family Stadium! It will start at the intersection of I-70 and Highway 177 (Coach Bill Snyder Highway) and cover 8 miles of the Coach Bill Snyder Highway, then take you down Historic Poyntz Avenue, past City Park, through Aggieville and the beautiful campus of Kansas State University to finish just in front of the stadium!

This USATF-certified course will have SEVEN aid stations for the Half participants and ONE for 5K participants. All miles will be marked with signage.

The 5K race will start and finish at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The runners will come out of the parking lot heading east on Kimball, turn South on Denison and loop down by campus and back to the stadium.

All finishers (Half and 5K) this year will receive a Finisher’s medal!

As with all our races, we not only want to have a good time and throw on a great event but we are also wanting to raise money for a great cause. This year, Coach Snyder has selected 4 charities: Boys & Girls Club of Manhattan, Shepard’s Crossing, Greater Manhattan Community Foundation and Hospice House.
