The Prairie Fire Marathon is a USATF Certified Race (KS19019TJD) and a Boston Marathon Qualifier with a fast course design taking runners through the heart of Wichita.
Runners begin at Riverfront Stadium, runs through downtown, then the Old Town district, run along the Douglas Design District, and pass through the lively College Hill area. The course continues through the Crown Heights neighborhood and into the very unique City of Eastborough.
All races will turn and pass through a similar route back through downtown as the Half Marathon will make a turn for home.
The Marathon will continue along the Arkansas River and near Riverside. Runners will tour the quaint Indian Hills neighborhood before turning back towards home along the Arkansas River once more.
