Race Info
In 2010, the Wichita Sports Commission took ownership of the Prairie Fire Marathon (previously known as the Wichita Marathon), now presented by Davis-Moore Automotive Group. For the first time, not only was a full marathon race offered, but also a half marathon, 5K, youth marathon, and one-mile walk. In 2013, we expanded into the Spring running season offering our Half Marathon, 5K, Sparky’s Kids Mile, and a Fun Run/Walk. Both the Spring and Fall events make up the Prairie Fire Race Series.
