Olathe Marathon

Olathe Marathon takes place in Olathe, Kansas, in the Kansas City metro area, on April 24, 2027. Three main formats share the day: a marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 10K, with additional races for children and juniors. The course is entirely urban, running through the streets of the city, and it has no marked relief.

A flat road profile is what makes this one interesting for time goals, whether you are aiming at a Boston qualifier over the full distance or a first sub-two-hour half. Plan on a 16-week build for the marathon, with a weekly long run climbing toward 20 miles and one marathon-pace workout every ten days; 10 to 12 weeks is enough for the half. With youth races on the same program, it doubles as a family morning rather than a strictly competitive one.
