The Night Hawk 50K and 10 Miler is a Running race in Lawrence, Kansas consisting of a 50K.
This 50K course consists of mostly rugged trails running through the beautiful trees, out on the white trail to Land’s End (~6 1/2 miles) and returning to the Start/Finish line on the blue trail(~3 1/2 miles). This is a 3 loop course with each loop running 10.3 miles long.
Aide stations are located at Land’s End and the Start/Finish Line and will have water, sports drink, gels, fruit, and sweet and salty snacks.
Alternate Course will be approximately 70% asphalt paved roads and 30% cross country type running. We apologize for the pavement but we must preserve the trails so they will be runnable again soon and hopefully we will be on the regularly scheduled course next year. The alternate course will be well marked and staffed to keep you on course.
First Aide Station is located at about 5 miles into the loop, at the intersection of 1415 Rd and 700 Road. It is located prior to entering the Loop of Ultimate Darkness cross country section. You will see it on your way out and you will pass by it again on your back to the start/finish line aid station. There are only 2 aide stations due to the looping course.
The start/finish line will have some good grub available for a post-race refueling. We will have regular, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.
