Konquer the Konza is a trail race taking place at the Konza Prairie Biological Station in Manhattan, Kansas, offering 25K and 10K distances. Runners traverse mostly unpaved paths with rolling hills, prairie grasslands, and expansive views of one of the last remaining tracts of tallgrass prairie in North America. The event has a participant cap of 350 across both distances, with aid stations spaced roughly every three miles and a self-carry hydration policy. All finishers receive medals, with age-group awards for top male and female in each category, and race shirts differing by distance. Proceeds benefit the Konza Environmental Education Program, which gives K–12 students hands-on opportunities to explore and learn about prairie ecology.
