About the Bill Snyder Highway Half and 5K

Manhattan's only half marathon, run point-to-point from Highway 177 (the Coach Bill Snyder Highway) near I-70 into town, through Aggieville and the Kansas State University campus, finishing on the field at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. A 5K starts and finishes at the stadium the same morning. Presented by Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center. The half marathon caps at 1,700 runners, does not allow walkers, and enforces a 3:30 cutoff. Held annually on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend since 2015. Proceeds benefit charities chosen each year by Coach Bill Snyder; in 2026 these were Homecare Hospice, No Stone Unturned, and Johnson Cancer Research. Source
