Washburn Rural Back to School 5k

The Washburn Rural Back to School 5k is an annual running event held in Topeka, Kansas, hosted by the Washburn Rural High School Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams. Open to students, staff, parents, and community members, the race offers a welcoming atmosphere for both serious runners and casual walkers. The course starts at the south entrance of the football field, proceeds east toward Washburn Rural Middle School, includes two loops around the campus, and finishes on the track.

Now in its fifth year, the event supports the high school cross country teams, with all proceeds benefiting them. Packet pickup is available the day before and the morning of the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
