Don’t forget, the race has been moved this year to the parking lot in front of the Longview Community Center at Longview Community College. The north half of the lot is not available for us to use, but there is parking in the south half of the lot and in other nearby lots.

Due to the limitations on gatherings to combat COVID - 19, and the likelihood that such limitations will soon be further extended into the future, we have postponed the Great Plains 10K in Wichita to Sunday, August 2, 2020, still at Sedgwick County Park in Wichita, KS. We have also extended the price increase that was supposed to go into effect today to June 7, so you will still be able to register at the price that was scheduled to end yesterday for another seven weeks or so.... Those who have already registered have four choices: -Stay with the race and participate on the new August 2 date (no action needs to be taken) -Convert your participation in the event to a virtual participant and run the race when and where you like with no need to report the results, picking up your packet at the packet pickup on August 1 (contact [email protected] to have him make the change) -Defer your registration to the 2021 Great Plains 10K (contact [email protected] to have him make the change) -Switch to the 2020 Old Town 10K on September 20 (contact [email protected] to have him make the change) We are sorry to have to take this step, but please know that we can't wait to see you at a running event as soon as it is safe to do so!
