Cowtown Freedom 5K

Virtual Event

Sat 11th November 2023

3 races

Organiser's Description

Come join us as we run wild through the streets of Cowtown! This fun 5K will take you through Wichitas wild west, along the Museum District, and along the Arkansas River. The course is open for runners seeking a personal best while offering enough eye appeal for those looking for a nice stroll with the family. All participants will receive a participation medal. Awards will also be given by age group and gender.
Additional recognition will be given to runners beating our Pacers to the finish line. Each pacer represents an Old Cowtown gang. If you beat the pacer across the finish line, youre faster than an iron horse. Pacers will run the 5K at 20, 25, 30, and 35 minutes (give or take). If you outrun a pacer you will receive a slider medal to attach to your participation award. These medals are beautiful and will truly be a showpiece to your running collection.
After the run, join us for the best awards ceremony West of the Pecos and help celebrate our veterans with a special dedication! Finisher medals will come in gold, silver, and bronze (1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively) for the categories listed below.

Lil Buckaroo Stampede Course
The kids will race around the streets of Cowtown for approximately two city blocks or 1/4 mile. For those unfamiliar with Cowtown, these streets are not connected to any traffic and there will be no automobiles on these streets. In other words, the kids will be completely safe from traffic and within the museum compound.
Post-Race Activities
All participants are encouraged to explore Cowtown after their events are complete. The awards ceremony will begin after the runners finish. Refreshments will be available to participants immediately following the race. We hope that you will take a relaxing stroll through Wichitas historic streets and enjoy what has become our passion; Wichitas proud American history!
