On May 23, 2026, runners will gather in Manhattan, Kansas, for the Bill Snyder Half Marathon & 5K, a well-organised event honouring Coach Bill Snyder and supporting local charities. The half marathon is a point-to-point course starting near Interstate 70 on Highway 177 and ending with a dramatic finish inside the Bill Snyder Family Stadium on the Kansas State University campus. The 5 K starts and finishes at the stadium as well, making it great for beginner or social runners who still want the feel of a big event. With chip timing, finisher medals for all, multiple aid stations along the route, and a cap on participants in the half, this race blends fast potential for experienced runners with a community-focused atmosphere for all. Whether aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a high-energy race day, this event offers a memorable experience in the heart of the USA’s Midwest.
