About the Buffalo Bill Cody Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K

The race runs through downtown Cody, so the surroundings are western and walkable rather than trail or park. The course is chip timed and described as challenging, which suggests some real terrain rather than a purely flat route. Cash prizes go to the overall winners, and age group awards are spread through the field.

Packet pickup is the evening before at City Park, near the bandshell. There is beer and other beverages at the finish, open to all adults. The organizers describe it as an after party, so plan to stick around for a while.

Common Questions About the Buffalo Bill Cody Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K

Will I finish last at the Buffalo Bill Cody Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:17:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:21:10, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Buffalo Bill Cody Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (50 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Buffalo Bill Cody Half Marathon, 10K, & 5K?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:31:46 while the median finisher took 2:17:21. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
