About the Prairie Line

The course starts and finishes near Scissortail Park, heading out across the Skydance Bridge before reaching the river trails below. Along the way it passes the Wheeler Ferris Wheel and a few other landmarks before turning back. The bridge is the one real climb, and crossing it again at the end gives you a downhill finish with a wide view of downtown.

Packet pickup runs the two days before the race at the Red Coyote store in the Classen Curve, with race-morning pickup available on site if you need it. Parking is spread across downtown lots and garages, so plan to walk a bit from wherever you land.

Common Questions About the Prairie Line

Will I finish last at the Prairie Line?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:12:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:54:31, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Prairie Line a good first 13.1 Miles?

A field of 674 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Prairie Line?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:14:21 while the median finisher took 2:12:21. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
