Two Kansas ultrarunners, Sean Frost and Jonathan Prosser, will be attempting a historic 250-mile run across Kansas from May 22-26. This endurance attempt will traverse the state from the Nebraska border to the Oklahoma state line.
This unprecedented running attempt combines athletic achievement with charitable giving. Sean Frost is raising funds for Topeka Collegiate to support educational scholarships, while Jonathan Prosser is fundraising for Lifeline Children’s Services, supporting families and children in need.
Their run will begin the morning of May 22 at Kirkwood & Co. in Highland, and end in Coffeyville on May 26. They will be passing through Chanute on May 25.
