The Prairie Burner 10k/5k/2M is a benefit race for the American Cancer Society in honor of Jake Thompson. The 10k and 5k races are timed events with prizes and metals awarded to the top 3 female and top 3 male finishers in each race. The 2M race is a fun run and is not timed.
The course surface is primarily paved although 10k participants will encounter gravel when turning left off of the Lake Road onto the access road for the Chase State Fishing Lake. Just as the Flint Hills are known for their rolling terrain, this course offers runners and walkers the opportunity to climb and descend. The course does end on a downhill so you can glide across the finish line!
