The TopCity Half Marathon is a half marathon and 5K held each spring in downtown Topeka, Kansas, starting and finishing at Evergy Plaza. The loop course passes the Kansas State Capitol and the historic Westboro, Collins, and Potwin neighborhoods before returning downtown. The race debuted as a virtual event in 2020, ran in person from 2023-2025, and was briefly cancelled for 2026 before organizers reinstated it with Fleet Feet Topeka as presenting sponsor.
