Fort Riley’s 33rd annual 10-5-2 Prairie Run is Saturday, July 21, starting at King Field House. The event provides runners options of three different courses: a 10-mile, 5-mile or 2-mile race.
For active-duty Soldiers, the 10-mile race acts as a qualifier for Fort Riley’s team that will compete at the Army 10-Miler in Washington, D.C., in October.
Races of all distances are open to both military and civilian runners.
These races are not fun runs, so no pets, strollers, baby joggers,
skateboards, roller blades, motorized vehicles, bicycles or headsets will be
allowed on the race course.
Registration is available online at riley.armymwr.com and costs $20.
Active-duty Soldiers registering for the 10-mile race do not have to pay the
registration fee. The deadline to register online is July 20. Runners can
register on race day at King Field House, between 6:00 and 6:45 a.m. Races
begin at 7 a.m.
For those participants without a DoD ID card, please use Henry Gate (Marshal
Army Airfield, Exit 301 off of I-70) to enter the installation. As you
approach the gate, stay in the far right lane. You will see a guard in a
safety vest and you will tell him that you are coming on Ft. Riley for the
10-5-2 race. Please ensure that all persons in your vehicle have a driver’s
license or government issued identification ready. Youth 15 years old or
younger will not be required to present an ID.
