Salina Crossroads Marathon

Salina Crossroads Marathon is held in Salina on November 7, 2026, with five events starting together at 8 a.m.: the marathon (26.2 miles), a marathon team relay, the half marathon (13.1 miles), a half marathon team relay and a 5K.

The relays are what set this one apart. Splitting 26.2 or 13.1 miles across a team lets you race hard over a shorter leg, or bring in someone who is not ready for the full distance yet. Running the marathon solo means 16 to 18 weeks of preparation with a weekly long run building toward 20 miles and regular time at goal pace. The half needs about twelve weeks on the same pattern, and the 5K gives spectators and family a way into the morning without a training block behind them.
