Time to Paddy 5K/10K & Lucky 13.1 - Topeka

Time to Paddy 5K/10K & Lucky 13.1 - Topeka brings a St. Patrick's theme to Topeka, Kansas on February 28, 2027. Everything starts at 8:00 a.m.: the kids' dash, the 1-mile run, the 5K, the 10K and the half marathon (13.1 miles). One start time across five distances keeps the logistics simple and gets mixed-ability groups to the same finish area within a reasonable window.

For a half marathon this early in the year, the honest question is how much running you did over the winter. Twelve weeks of four runs a week with one long run is the baseline; if that is not what your log looks like, the 10K is the better race and leaves you fresher for a spring goal. Newer runners and kids have the 5K, the mile and the dash to work with.
