Bill Snyder Highway Half & 5K
The Bill Snyder Highway Half & 5K is the 13th annual edition presented by Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center and scheduled for May 29, 2027, in Manhattan, Kansas. The event offers two race options:
- Half Marathon
- 5K
The half marathon is a point to point course that begins near I-70 on Highway 177, also known as Coach Bill Snyder Highway. Participants are transported by shuttle buses from the Bill Snyder Family Stadium West parking lot to the half marathon start. From the highway the course follows the northbound lane on the east side of the road into town, then continues through downtown Manhattan, around City Park, through Aggieville and across the Kansas State University campus before finishing at the stadium.
The 5K starts and finishes at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Course maps are provided for both distances. The race raises funds for three charities selected by Coach Snyder: Homecare Hospice, No Stone Unturned and Johnson Cancer Research. The event materials note timing, awards, packet pickup and other race logistics as separate information sections. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
