This was the second race of the “back to back”. The host hotel was literally at the start/finish line. The hotel staff was amazing. The course itself wasn’t anything memorable, so nothing horrible or amazing. It was a different course from the May race. The post race food and crowd is amazing! Definitely a great race! I would recommend this one to anyone! Especially if you are close to Wichita, this is great because their “back to back” is a May and October race.

This course is very flat and fast, two-loop with a long out and back through town. Once the marathon starts the second lap, the course is pretty devoid of spectators…and other participants. The race itself was well run. They moved the start to an area downtown that was a little hard to get to due to road closures and construction, but the nightclub at the start line was warm and had indoor bathrooms.
This race about killed me this year.

I had run the half my first year and enjoyed it. I had even gotten a PR on the flat half course. The Marathon expo is huge and the race flat and well organized. Why then was it such a killer? We had just started when it started the rain. The temperature dropped from 40 to 33 for the finish. There were only 26 miles of pouring freezing rain. I feel sorry for the RD, he can’t control the weather. No one dared to stay for the after party this year. When getting my medal they asked me if I wanted to step into the medical tent to warm up. I was shaking and my teeth were clattering. So happy the hotel was just steps away. Since I had done it once and enjoyed I may go back. I would tell you it was my second worst experience in running.
My first half

The water stations were sparse but great race, good support and since I was super slow and last I had my own golf cart for support. I choose this race as my first half because it is a fast and flat course. I felt it was flat.
Flat & Fast. Great Little Race
Great course. Go for a PR! Flat and fast. Great for new runners who don't want a difficult challenge, beyond the distance. I loved the race logo and finisher medal, … MORE
Great course. Go for a PR! Flat and fast. Great for new runners who don’t want a difficult challenge, beyond the distance. I loved the race logo and finisher medal, one reason I chose to run it. Smaller size race, but well run and made to feel like a bigger event. And a bonus of a smaller race is: 1st place age group award!
