The Prairie Fire Spring 5K is USATF Certified Race (new course has been certified. We are waiting to receive the number), single loop design. The race begins north of Century II, heads south along the river, and then loops back north towards Riverfront Stadium.

Friendly 5K-
Are you looking for a great way to get involved on race day, but not interested in a competitive race? The Friendly 5K is the race for you!
A perfect option for a child and parent, you and your bestie, a couple, or any twosome that wants to enjoy the race experience without the pressure of racing the clock.
In this untimed event, participants will utilize our 5K course, receive a race shirt, and a shiny finisher’s medal after crossing the line. All levels are encouraged to participate. Run, jog, or walk your way to our spectacular finisher’s party and celebrate with us on race day.
