Prairie Fire Spring Races

Prairie Fire Spring Races are in Wichita, Kansas, and are part of the Prairie Fire Race Series. The spring race is set for May 3, 2026. The Prairie Fire Marathon—formerly the Wichita Marathon—is described as a premier urban event; fall editions are noted for a flat, fast, Boston-qualifying course.

Since 2010, the Wichita Sports Commission has directed over $200,000 to local charities, and more than 60,000 runners have taken part from all 50 states and 20+ countries. The series emphasizes an urban, community-focused atmosphere, with spring and fall races, runner info, and vendor opportunities on the site for participants and spectators.
