5-Mile and 5K Run/2-Mile Walk
Looking for a little motivation to keep you running a bit more than a 5K? Sign up for the 41-year-old Tiblow Trot 5-mile race in Bonner Springs! If you are already at a good fitness level and running regularly, try one of Hal Higdon’s 8K training plans for the next four weeks. The 8K is just a tad less (4.97) than 5 miles and will have you ready to cross that Tiblow Trot finish line on Oak Street!
The fun of a small town run. The beauty of a small town race includes no intimidating start line, a friendly crowd, a day of festivities and no long lines for the bathroom. Join us in Bonner Springs, Kansas on Saturday, August 24 for a unique (and hilly) 5 mile run, an enjoyable 5K or a pleasant 2 mile walk. Something for everyone!
Stick around for the Tiblow Days festivities too! Join us for the annual parade, car show and carnival. See the full schedule below:
