Salina Crossroads Marathon

The Salina Crossroads Marathon, Half Marathon, 4.01K Family Fun Run/Walk, and Team Relays will be held on Nov. 5.

Thanks to generous sponsors 100 percent of the race entry fees will go to four youth sports organizations in Saline County: Salina Family YMCA, USD 305 School Marathon, Salina Area Youth Sportsmanship Initiative, and Kansas Youth Sports. All finishers will receive a custom made medal by Vortex and a t-shirt. The post-race meal will include our very own Cozy Inn along with other great food and drinks.

The Salina Crossroads Marathon is the first USATF Certified and Boston Qualifying Marathon ever held in Salina. There are currently 500 runners registered from 28 different states and the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce estimates the event will have an economic impact of $385,000 for the community.

The 4.01K Family Fun Run and Walk and Team Relays are a fun way to be a part of Salina's first ever Boston Qualifier Marathon weekend. Race day will kick off with an electric guitar version of the National Anthem, music stations every mile of the course, DJ/Entertainment throughout the day from Cash Hollistah, and live music from The Blades following the race.
