Prairie Series Day 3 - KS

Lace-up for an unforgettable experience at the Prairie Series Day 3 - KS, set to take place on Sunday, May 10, 2026, in scenic Hiawatha, Kansas. As part of the esteemed Mainly Marathons series, this event is designed for both seasoned distance runners and those looking to conquer new milestones, offering a supportive environment with no time limits and a "no runner left behind" policy that welcomes walkers alongside runners. Participants can choose from a range of distances including a full Marathon (26.2M), Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, and 5K, all on a smooth, flat concrete path, ideal for achieving a personal best.

The course in Hiawatha features an out-and-back looped design, with the marathon typically completing 18 laps. While the course offers little to no shade, typical race day conditions in early May are pleasant, with highs around 72°F and lows around 50°F, accompanied by only an 18% chance of precipitation, providing favorable weather for a strong performance. What truly distinguishes this event is the exceptional on-course support; aid stations are stocked like those found in ultramarathons, providing a wide array of refreshments such as soups, potato salad, or sandwiches, adapted to the weather, and ample ice water.

The Prairie Series is renowned for its "loony, spirited community," fostering camaraderie and an unparalleled runner experience. All finishers receive a commemorative medal for the day, and those dedicated enough to complete an entire series are awarded a special additional medal. This event promises not only a well-organized race with excellent production quality and generous swag but also a chance to be part of a vibrant running community.
