Format: The 5K follows the most challenging and aesthetic cross country course in Kansas. It includes rolling prairie, native woods, rugged ascents, and two creek crossings.  The one-mile walk is a race, and a self-test of fitness, following the prairie trail and ending up at a replica of the first cabin in Topeka.  Participants' can go to the www.healthykansas.org and click on “What’s Your Mile?” for background.  A private fitness assessment in the cabin will follow the finish.  Headsets are not allowed.
