Every year the biggest race in Kansas is the River Run in downtown Wichita. The race is a blast and attracts thousands of runners, the streets are overflowing with people ha.
The race usually attracts lots of great competition from the region, with runners posting some great times. That, combined with the amount of people makes it one of the premier races for the year. One thing you can never be sure about is the weather. Mother’s Day tends to be the point where the hot weather in Wichita starts. This year we got lucky and had some of the best weather in years for the River Festival. It was cool and just a little windy.
The race went really well for me. I ran six minute miles till mile six, then I got a little slower ha. I ended up finishing right behind my buddy Jess McNeely and Peter Kretch. It wasn’t the fastest River Run ever, but a good one with a time of 37:30 for the 10K race. I got second in my age group and 17th overall. It definitely indicates that I’m in better shape this year and hopefully means that there are good things to come in the near future.
Below are some links about the race.
