The Hawk Hundred, sponsored by the Lawrence Trail Hawks, has the option of a 100-mile, 50-mile, and Marathon trail race. The course covers a 25-mile loop through the technical rolling trails at Clinton State Park, Lawrence, KS.

Aid Stations
The Hawk is a fully-staffed race with three aid stations, manned by experienced UltraRunners. The usual food and drink, with Tailwind and Honey Stinger products will be available at each of the aid stations. Aid stations usually offer a mix of vegan/vegetarian/omnivore options, including hot food and soups in the overnight hours. Aid station protocols will follow guidance from local health authorities and other safety precautions as necessary to protect the runners and our volunteers.

This was my first trail marathon, which I have to say that I did enjoy it!
The trails were very rocky, with little areas that didn’t have roots and rocks, but it is a trail marathon, so I wouldn’t expect anything different. There was more elevation gain that I imagined for a Kansas race (2100′)! You are always going up or down, and the rough terrain made it impossible to actually “run”!
If you’re looking to PR or BQ, this is not the place!
If you’re looking for a flashy big finishers medal, this is not the race.
If you are looking to enjoy great comeraderie, this IS the place.
If you’re looking for a challenge, sign up for this one.
The medal was about as simple as it gets, hand made, which I thought was pretty cool!
Aid stations were few, but the ones that were there were well stocked with incredible volunteers!
Carrying hydration with you is a must!
All in all, great job on the race personnel and volunteers! It was different and fun!
Great course and great folks running it.

10 minutes from town, but all single track. Good hills, considering Kansas is supposed to be so flat. RD went out of his way to find me a pacer for the 3rd loop. Tons included for a very modest price. I got a fleece jacket in addition to the tech shirt, nice buckle, dinner the night before, and breakfast at the finish line.
