Spring Runners’ Village

Runners’ Village

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.

Another unique part of the Prairie Fire Race Series is our broadcasters at the finish line giving live updates of runners coming into the finish. The live feed can be heard a half mile out for an added rush of adrenaline for runners to finish strong!
