Recognized as the "Best Boston Marathon Qualifier in Kansas" for 2025, the Salina Crossroads Marathon offers a flat, fast, and scenic route through downtown Salina, historic neighborhoods, and local parks. The marathon course consists of two loops, while the half marathon covers one loop, both designed to maximize personal best opportunities. Race day begins with a unique electric guitar rendition of the National Anthem, followed by a vintage vehicle leading the start, and features live music along the course and at the finish line. Participants can enjoy amenities such as pacing groups, 6–8 aid stations per loop, free race photos, and a post-race celebration with food and drinks. Notably, 100% of race entry fees are donated to five local youth sports organizations, emphasizing the event's commitment to community support.
