Course Description & Aid Stations

The Kansas Rails-to-Trails Extravaganza is run on the Prairie Spirit Trail and is a beautiful "rails-to-trails" course that runs through numerous quaint little towns.
The 100 Mile, 50 Mile and 50K course start at Celebration Hall in Ottawa with a short northbound out-and-back (100mile: approx 2mi, 50mile: approx. 4mi, 50K: approx. 1mi), then travel south to their turnaround (100mile: Iola, 50mile: Garnett, 50K: Richmond) and back north to the finish in Ottawa.
The 100K, Marathon, and Half Marathon start on the trail in Ottawa and will head south to their turnaround (100K: Welda, Mar: Richmond, 1/2Mar: Princeton) and back north to the finish in Ottawa.

The course is primarily on a crushed limestone trail, with asphalt paths as you travel through each small town. Manned and unmanned aid stations will be approximately every 5 miles (with no greater distance than approximately 6 miles) and the course is easily accessible to crew. It's a great event for first timers, as it's a flat and relatively easy course. It's also the perfect course for experienced runners wanting to set a PR. The atmosphere will be family friendly with plenty of places for your crew to hang out and relax while cheering you on. Pacers WILL BE allowed for the last half (approx.) of the event.

Aid Stations: Manned aid stations are fully-stocked with water, electrolyte drink & snack-type foods, unmanned aid stations with water only. Approximate distance between aid stations is 5 miles with no distance greater than a little over 9 miles between manned aid stations, all manned aid stations will have drop bag access..

The following link will open up a Google Map, showing the locations of the Start/Finish (Celebration Hall) and all six manned aid stations/crew access & drop bag points located in Princeton (1/2 Mar. t/a), Richmond (50K and Mar. t/a), Garnett (50 mile t/a), Welda (100K t/a, Colony & Iola (100 mile t/a). Unmanned (water only) aid stations are also show on map.

Textron Aviation 5k (for employees and families of employees only)

A fundraiser for the Uplift fund

Only open to Textron employees and families.

5K Registration will be $17.50/person- 2.50 processing fee = $15 going to Uplift.
Kid Fun Run Registration will be $12.50/per kiddo – 2.50 processing fee = $10 going to Uplift.

Uplift is an employee-managed, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization covering all U.S. based locations. The Uplift Fund features a board comprised of Textron Aviation employees from a variety of levels and functions throughout the company. The purpose of Uplift is to offer assistance to employees in financial need and to improve our community. While the majority of its funds raised support United Way, the remaining funds are retained to assist Textron Aviation employees in times of catastrophic need or are contributed to support additional non-profit organizations.

It's been 20 years since the organization held its first walk, and we're excited about continuing the tradition! This year's event will kick off with a morning 5K, followed by our traditional parade 1-mile walk of fame, followed by a cornhole tournament!

Because of your past generosity, the organization has taken great strides toward its mission, including a job skills development program, continued learning series for parents and caregivers, and initial renovations of the new center for programs. The Parade of Stars: Down Syndrome Awareness Day of Giving is the largest awareness and advocacy fundraiser in Wichita in support of the Down Syndrome Society of Wichita. With your generosity, the organization receives support to continue its operations, while serving individuals in our community who need it most through effective programs and services for years to come.

Who is the Down Syndrome Society of Wichita?

The Down Syndrome Society of Wichita is a non-profit located in Wichita, KS, serving individuals with Down syndrome and their support networks including medical professionals, educators, supporters and of course families! While the name ends with Wichita, the service area stretches across the lower one-third portion of Kansas - including Hutchinson, Garden City, Dodge City and Liberal. Families are empowered through relevant learning series, connectivity, community support, resources, tools and valuable programs and services to impact lives. Just a few highlighted programs include:

• Summer of Discovery Learning and Exploration Program
• Artist Workshops
• Learning Series
• Connection Groups
• New Parent Outreach
• Lazos de Amor Spanish-speaking group
• Explore ICT Adult Life Skills

Your help is vital in ensuring organizational success!

While we are celebrating those individuals with Down syndrome, this fundraiser is important in the health and vitality of the organization. We still have families who need access to learning series workshops to provide better care. We still have adults with Down syndrome who need art workshops to creatively express themselves. Parents still need a core group for bonding and growth opportunities. New parents still need access to books and resources to begin their journey. Summer programming is still important for siblings to engage in memorable summer learning experiences together. Expansion of services is still needed in order to provide value to those we serve, while filling missing needs in our community. Funds raised stay local and go directly to support the work of the organization.

Pathway Sponsors: We encourage area businesses to participate in the fun, while joining this important event! Pathway sponsors will receive a sign on the walkway featuring over 100 individuals along with their business, to highlight their support in a meaningful way!

Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund for pets is a special fund for pets who are in urgent need of medical care.    
Imagine your beloved pet has an   emergency, like being hit by a car, and urgently needs vet care or he may die. But, you recently lost your job and things are tight and you don’t have $1000+ for a vet bill, no matter how much you love your dog. Or you have a job, you work hard, you work full time and it's barely enough to cover the bills. What if your only choices were to let your pet die or surrender him to a rescue so he may live?
We help those pets, and their loving owners, so that the pet doesn’t die and the owners don’t have to surrender it to get it help.
Our annual fundraiser, Run for Paws 5K will be October 7, 2023 at Frontier Park in Olathe! 100% of the money raised in our 4th annual Run for Paws 5K will be used to directly pay vets for the urgent and life saving medical care.
Since opening in April of 2020, our little fund has donated $227,793.71     and helped to keep 466 of pets in their homes, with the families who love them. We ask for nothing in return, and every single penny donated goes directly to vet bills.
This run is our only fundraiser, otherwise we operate 100% on donations.

The Spirit 5K road race is back for 2023!   Make plans to join in person in Garden City, Kansas on October 6, 2023 or complete the Spirit 5K virtually wherever you choose! 

The Spirit 5K is certified by the  USA Track & Field Organization.  These races allow individuals and teams the opportunity to win cash and prizes while honoring their loved ones throughout their epic journey to the finish line. Proceeds from the races fund the Leave a Legacy Foundation’s mission to improve cancer care resources in southwest Kansas. 100% of proceeds remain in this region.
