Race to the Center Half Marathon

Our 9th Annual Race will be run on Sept. 13, 2025. This is the last race on this course, so sign up today! Find yourself at the center of the U.S. as you finish this unique race. The entire course is on unpaved country roads in north-central Kansas.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the Kansas prairie as you run from Smith Center, KS to the Geographic Center of the Contiguous United States near Lebanon, KS. You may run the race or ride your bike. This race is certified by the USA Track and Field Association.
This year we are also having a 10k run that starts and ends at the Geographic Center. This is in addition to the Half Marathon Running and Half Marathon Cycling races.
