Kansas
Due to the sheer number of tornadoes that hit the state every year, the state of Kansas has earned the nickname as the “Tornado Alley”. It is also famous in literature as the home of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Nicknamed the Sunflower State, wheat is the biggest and most notable produce in the state of Kansas. This Midwestern state is the 15th largest nation and also plays hosts to several marathon race events throughout the year. The most popular marathon events in Kansas include the Wichita Brewing Relay Marathon and the Eisenhower Marathon, which are Boston Marathon qualifiers.
