About the race
The Hawk Hundred is a trail running event organized by the Lawrence Trail Hawks at Clinton State Park in Lawrence, KS. The event is centered on a 25 mile loop of technical, rolling singletrack and park trails that serves as the primary course element.
Distances offered:
- 100 Mile trail race
- 50 Mile trail race
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
Marathon runners run an additional 1.2 miles on the Nature Center Trail before completing the 25 mile loop. Hundred-mile runners complete the 25 mile "Big Loop" four times in total; 50-mile runners complete the Big Loop twice.
The race uses chipped timing by Timer Guys with live updates available on race day. The event operates three staffed aid stations providing Tailwind and Honey Stinger products, a range of food options including vegan and hot items overnight, and designated crew and drop bag access at specified points on the loop. Drop bags are collected on race morning shortly before each distance's scheduled start, and packet pickup and the pre-race briefing occur the morning of the event.
Finishers receive distance-specific awards and swag if registered by the posted deadline, including a finishers buckle for the 100 mile distance and handcrafted items for other distances. The event enforces aid-station cutoffs by mile marker and has stated policies on deferral, refunds, and race-day distance changes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
