Waldo McBurney Race

The Waldo McBurney Race, held annually in Quinter, Kansas, is a community-focused running event supporting local fitness centers in Quinter, Grainfield, and Gove. The 18th edition takes place on August 2, 2025, featuring multiple race options including a 5k, 1 mile, 200-meter kids race, and special 5k and 1 mile races for participants aged 12 and under. The 5k course is a fast route winding through the town, starting at Quinter City Park, with strong community support.

The 1 mile race offers a shorter alternative and serves as a cool down for 5k runners. The kids' race highlights young athletes in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
