One of the most exciting features of the Prairie Fire Race Series is the runners’ village, which is full of everything runners need before and after the race! The Spring Runners’ Village will be held at 225 W. Douglas Ave., KS 67202.

It offers a bag check for personal items, medical tents, runners food tent, runners information tent. There’s also water, Gatorade, and fruit as you cross the finish line. In addition to these amenities, there’s also music for your entertainment.
