The Emma Creek 5k will celebrate its 33rd year in 2024! The race, which has been held since 1990, is one of the largest women's-only 5k's in the state of Kansas. The Emma Creek 5k is a certified fast-and-flat course for WOMEN AND GIRLS of all ages. Timing chips are used. We offer a post-race buffet and awards ceremony. Awards are presented to the Top 10 finishers and the top 3 in 17 age groups. Join us to run, walk or jog through beautiful Hesston, which is about 40 minutes north of Wichita.
1-MILE FUN RUN ADDED: We are adding a 1-mile fun run this year! The event will not be competitive but participants will still get a shirt and swag bag! You also can get the famous buffet after the race and attend the post-race awards ceremony to try for door prizes! The cost is the same as the 5k. Just click on the "1-Mile Fun Run" when registering.
BUY TICKETS FOR RAFFLE: We are offering a raffle for a beautiful hand-made Emma Creek 5k tied comforter donated by longtime race committee member and runner Lisa Bartel of Newton. The tickets are $10 each. Purchase five tickets and get one free! The winner will be announced at the post-race ceremony. You do not need to be present to win. The comforter was pieced and tied by Jan Lichti of Hydro, OK., formerly of Hesston. Proceeds will go toward Victory in the Valley and scholarships for youth at Hesston Recreation. It is 84" x 65" and is black and lightweight. It is amazing!
