More than 2,000 runners will be taking part in the 45th Prairie Fire Marathon in Wichita Sunday morning.

The starting line is at Seneca and Burton and the finish line will be at Riverfront Stadium.   Events begin at 6:30 a.m with a pre-race stretch.   The Marathon and Half-Marathon will start at 7:10 a.m, then the 5K and the Mayor’s Friendly 5K will begin at 7:30.

Streets in the area around the stadium will be blocked and motorists are urged to watch for runners.   Online registration has closed and the runners will be picking up their packets on Saturday.

Andrea Lytle Peet arrived in Wichita on Thursday to prepare to participate in the Marathon. Peet is the first person with ALS to complete 50 marathons in 50 states. Her record-breaking journey was chronicled in a feature-length documentary, ‘Go On, Be Brave’ by Fly Squirrel Films and premiered in 2023.   A free showing of the film was scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday at Exploration Place.
