Emma Creek Classic 1M 5K 10K
The Emma Creek Classic in Hesston, Kansas is a running event held on April 24, 2027 at 200 N Ridge Road. The program includes multiple distances and a mix of traditional and new course options. Registration for each event carries a fee of $30 and registration opens November 15, 2026 and closes April 11, 2027.
Distances:
- 1 mile fun walk/run for women and girls
- 5K traditional women and girls race
- 10K open to everyone
The 10K follows the 5K start route but diverts east within the golf course to a new path that goes under I-135 to Hoover Road. From Hoover Road the course continues east along a winding road by Crosswinds Convention Center and Camp David International, then returns to the golf course and finishes at the Hobbs Stadium track. The one mile and 5K remain classic women and girls only events.
Awards will be presented to the top 10 overall finishers and the top 3 in each age group. Age groups are 8 and younger; 9-11; 12-17; 18-24; then five-year bands from 25-29 through 80-84; and 85 and older. The awards ceremony will last no more than 30 minutes.
