Event summary

Get ready for an exhilarating challenge at the 5K All Day event happening on Sunday, March 26th, through Monday, March 27th, 2023, in Wichita, Sedgwick! This unique race, hosted by Fartleks Running Shop, invites participants to push their limits in a thrilling twist on the traditional 5K format. Instead of just one race, runners will tackle a series of 5Ks each hour, starting at 8 am, with decreasing time limits as the event progresses. Can you rise to the challenge and complete multiple laps, possibly even conquering a marathon or a 50K?

The event is designed to be both competitive and fun, encouraging participants to see how far they can go while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow runners. With only the start and finish line at The Exploration Place as the aid station, don’t forget to bring your own hydration. Plus, there will be delicious donuts in the morning and pizza around 1 pm to refuel. Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and prepare for an unforgettable day of running, laughter, and community spirit! Be sure to sign up by March 17th to secure your exclusive event t-shirt!

Organiser's description

_Sign Up by March 17th to be guarantied a t-shirt._

5K All Day is the first race to be put on by Fartleks Running Shop.

Fartleks races, like our name, will always be a bit different. For this race instead of doing a single 5K and going home, we are challenging you to stick around and run one each hour. However, each hour we are going to give you less time to finish. If you don't finish in the given time you are eliminated. LAST MAN STANDING WINS.

The race starts at 8 am and you will have the entire hour to complete the 5K. But for each consecutive 5K, you will then receive 3 fewer minutes. How many can you complete as the miles add up and the pace gets faster? Can you make make it to hour 9 and complete a marathon, hour 10 and get a 50K? Can you complete one more than your friend or family member who is normally faster than you? Will anyone complete all 15 and go the entire 46.5 miles?

* 8 am - 1 hour
* 9 am - 57 Minutes
* 10 am - 54 minutes
* 11 am - 51 minutes
* Noon - 48 minutes
* 1 pm - 45 minutes
* 2 pm - 42 minutes
* 3 pm - 39 minutes
* 4 pm - 36 minutes
* 5 pm - 33 minutes
* 6 pm - 30 minutes
* 7 pm - 27 minutes
* 8 pm - 24 minutes
* 9 pm - 21 minutes
* 10 pm - 18 minutes
* If multiple finish under 18 minutes than 10:30pm will be sudden death, first across the finish wins.

The race will Start/Finish line will be at The Exploration Place. The only aid station will be at the start and finish so runners are encouraged to bring a water bottle on the runs if they need additional hydration.

There will be donuts in the morning and pizza around 1 pm. Bring a lawn chair and anything else you may need to enjoy yourself between the 5Ks.

Packet pickup will be from Noon - 5 pm March 25th at Fartleks Running Shop Smoothie Stop.
