The Snake 10-Mile Trail Race
Lawrence, United States • 26 Jul 2025
The Snake 10-Mile Trail Race is an annual trail running event held at Overlook Park near Clinton Lake in Lawrence, Kansas. Now in its seventh year, the race features a challenging 10-mile course known for its winding layout through rugged trails and old-growth forest along the lake's north shore. The race starts and finishes at Shelter 1 in Overlook Park and includes a midway aid station staffed by fellow trail runners. Participants enjoy a post-race watermelon feast with volunteers, families, and friends. The event emphasizes trail respect and safety, including a unique "snake name" system to peacefully coexist with local snakes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
