The Hawk Hundred is a trail running event presented by the Lawrence Trail Hawks. It offers a 100-mile, a 50-mile, and a marathon (26.2 miles) distance. The race is held at Clinton State Park in Lawrence, Kansas, at the Army Corp of Engineers - Shelter 1 - Overlook Park.
Course Details
The main course is a 25-mile loop on technical, rolling trails within the park. Marathon runners cover an initial 1.2 miles on the Nature Center Trail before starting this loop.

The course includes a short out-and-back to Sanders Mound at the beginning, a 2.5-mile Goodwin Loop around Bunker Hill, and three aid stations: Lands End, West Park Road, and the Start/Finish.
