    Clean Water 5K West of Seneca at Mid American All Indian Center, Wichita, KS Distance: 5K   RACE DAY: This is a chip-timed race under the direction of the Timer Guys, which means all race participants must be registered and wear a race bib. For the rest of the community, we've got big plans for food and fun before, during and after the race!  For the serious runners, here's info on the race course location, description and details. AWARDS: Overall awards given to top female and male runners and age group awards to top three in each group. PARKING: Free vehicle parking for race day is available in the vacant lot across from the Mid-America All-Indian Center. For GPS navigation using Waze or Google Maps use 1351 W Sim Park Dr. to find the entrance to the lot. For GPS navigation using Apple Maps use 1351 W Museum Blvd. to find the entrance to the lot. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? Your entire registration fee goes toward building a borehole well and providing clean water education to a village in Malawi, east Africa. Water is life. We use this precious resource many times each day without thought or effort. Yet many people around the world don’t enjoy this luxury, because they don’t have easy access to water and possibly no access to clean water. Many women and children around the globe spend hours each day in search of water; their lives revolve around this task. Often the water they collect is contaminated and causes diarrhea, which is the leading cause of illness and death around the world. Many organizations are working to eradicate this problem by building safe wells in communities one village at a time. Access to clean water reduces illness and death, increases school attendance, builds gender equality, diminishes scarcity conflicts and improves impoverished communities. Yes, water is life. Wichita Clean Water 5K is partnering with Nazarene Compassionate Ministries in Africa to bring life to villages through the construction of safe wells and clean water education.   You can make a life-changing difference to a community of people by registering for the Clean Water 5K and inviting your friends to join you. Together, we can put a safe well in Kasungu and be a part of something much bigger than ourselves. Links: Race Flyer: (LINK)

    Chisholm Trail Marathon 535 W. Douglas, Wichita, KS Distance: 26.2   Flat and fast. Just one way to describe the Chisholm Trail Marathon in downtown Wichita, KS. Epic and historical could be another. And, because this course is so fast, some will even say it’s how they'll qualify for the Boston Marathon. The Chisholm Trail Marathon is a radical USATF and RRCA certified course. The start and finish of this 13.1-mile double loop runs through historical Delano District where the Chisholm Trail was established in 1878. The course itself has only twelve turns and takes you  through the corridor of downtown Wichita, the same avenue Wyatt Earp walked. Today, it’s time to run your own way into history by competing in the first Chisholm Trail Marathon. Whether it’s the half marathon or full it’s time to beat your  PR. Not everyone can run a marathon. And those that can prepare mentally and physically far in advance. That’s why it’s time to commit. It’s time to train. It’s time to register for the Chisholm Trail Marathon.
