Details from event's RunSignUp.com listing:
This will be our seventh annual marathon/relay marathon from Wichita Brewing Company West to Wichita Brewing Company East. The course is USATF certified for the serious runners. But, will be set up with five interchanges for teams of six runners to run the marathon. The course will stick to the Wichita bike paths as much as possible for the safety of all the runners.
For team registrations, the first person registering will create a team name in addition to registering themselves as a member of the team. Each runner running on the team will then register individually as a member of their team and pay $45.
On the morning of March 12th, the race will be kicked off at 8 am at Wichita Brewing Company West, 8815 W 13th St. The first leg will run to Central and Mt. Caramel. The second leg will run to McLean and St. Paul. The third leg will run to Exploration place under the south bridge of the Keeper of the Plains. The fourth leg will run to Pawnee and St. Francis. The fifth leg will run to George Washington and Oliver. The last leg will bring it home to Wichita Brewing Company East, 535 N Woodlawn. We will have water at each interchange and in between the interchanges as well. We will stop timing after 6 hours.

This is a nonprofit event and proceeds benefit Kansas Food Bank. To date we've raised in excess of $50,000 for the Kansas Food Bank through our marathon.
The Kansas Food Bank's mission is to provide comprehensive and compassionate HungerCare whenever and wherever it is needed to safeguard the health, well-being and productivity of food-insecure Kansas families and their children, as well as senior citizens, the homeless and the chronically ill and impoverished among us.
For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...
