Kansas Trails Council

The North Shore Trails at Clinton Lake in Lawrence are where the Trail Hawks run most. These beautiful trails are maintained solely by volunteers, and the Kansas Trails Council heads up the effort. they have an official mandate to do so from the Kansas Department of Parks and Wildlife. Lawrence Trail Hawks are proud to number themselves among the volunteers and members of the KTC.

Kansas Ultrarunners Society

The Kansas Ultrarunners Society sponsors the Rockin' K Trail Runs - 50-mile and Marathon, the first Saturday in April; and the Heartland 100, second weekend in October. Yes, it's Kansas, but these races run in two of the only hilly places in the state: The Flint Hills for Heartland, and the Smokey Hills for Rockin' K. Don't let the high finisher rates and incredibly nice people fool you -- both provide as grueling a course and brutal a race as you'll find anywhere outside the mountain states. The hills might make you think "We're not in Kansas anymore," but you are.

Lawrence Mountain Bike Club

We run on the Kansas River Trails almost as much as we run the North Shore trails at Clinton Lake. The Lawrence Mountain bike Club is the official manager of these trails by authority of the City of Lawrence. And they do a dern good job of keeping those trails up! That's why the Lawrence Trail Hawks try to get out to help the LMBC maintain the river trails with lopping, trail repair and creation whenever we can.
