HalfRuns Dispatch: June 24, 2026 – Prairie Series & New Races

Today’s biggest story: the 2026 Prairie Series wrapped up its multi-state tour, and we just pulled finisher results from four of its legs across Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and South Dakota. The series saw 200 finishers combined across Days 1, 3, 5, and 6—a testament to the growing appeal of multi-day running festivals in the Midwest. Day 3 in Hiawatha, Kansas led the pack with 85 finishers.

We added 297 new upcoming races today, many of them happening this Saturday, June 27. Here’s a quick look at what’s coming up this weekend:
