Candy Cane Course- Wichita

Candy Cane Course- Wichita runs in Wichita, Kansas, on December 20, 2026, with a 15K (9.3 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles), a 5K (3.1 miles), a 1 mile and a kids dash all starting at 9:00 a.m. Entrants get a branded shirt, a custom medal, electronic timing, live results and free photos, plus treats at the finish. The kids dash is open to children under 10 and comes with a mini bib, a youth shirt and its own medal. Reduced youth pricing applies, and a virtual option lets you run the distance anywhere.

If you have never entered a race, this is an easy one to start with: the mile is short, the atmosphere is a holiday one, and finishing is the only goal that matters. Walk the parts you need to walk. Runners with more mileage behind them can use the 5K or 10K as a hard session inside a winter block, keeping the surrounding days easy.
