Hawk Hundred
The Hawk Hundred is a trail race at Clinton State Park near Lawrence, KS, organized by the Lawrence Trail Hawks. The event offers these distances:
- 100 mile
- 50 mile
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
The course is based on a 25 mile loop of technical, rolling trails. Marathon runners begin with an additional 1.2 mile section on the Nature Center Trail before joining the 25 mile loop. Hundred mile runners complete the loop four times in total; 50 mile runners complete the loop twice.
The route uses marked blazed trails and includes a 1.1 mile out-and-back to Sanders Mound, a section known as Cactus Ridge where trail blazes change, and the 2.5 mile Goodwin Loop that traverses Bunker Hill. Aid stations are located at Lands End, West Park Road, and the Start/Finish; some stations allow crew access and drop bags while others do not. The race is fully staffed at aid stations and provides Tailwind and Honey Stinger products plus a mix of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore options.
All distances are chip timed by Timer Guys and live updates are available on race day. Drop bags must be delivered race morning 15 minutes before a runner’s scheduled start. The event has published cutoff times at aid stations; runners must meet those cutoffs to remain eligible for finisher awards.
Finishers receive event apparel, a race bag, and distance-specific items. Awards are given by overall placement, ordered runner-up positions including male, female, and non-binary categories, masters categories, and a final "Last Mule in the Barn" award. Sponsors include Orange Mud, Tailwind Nutrition, and Honey Stinger. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
