The Annual Hawk Hundred is a 100-mile, 50-mile and Marathon Trail race put on by the Lawrence Trail Hawks.

The course covers four loops through the rolling hills of Clinton State Park.

The 2018 Hawk is a fully-staffed race with 3 aid stations manned by experienced UltraRunners, and a well-marked course through tough technical trails. We will have Ham radio operators at each aid station, so crew and family members can easily check on the whereabouts of their runner.

Aid stations will offer Tailwind Nutrition, Water, Coke, Mountain Dew and Ginger-ale. We serve Honey Stinger gels, chews and waffles as our additional electrolyte. Typical aid station food includes but is not limited to: Oranges, bananas, watermelon, pringles, pretzels, oreo cookies, nutter butters, M&M's, Peanut M&M's, ginger chews, boiled potatoes, peanut butter wraps, nutella wraps, and turkey wraps.

Each aid station will offer a variety of soup and other warm food on the overnight hours. If you have a "special needs diet," please contact the RD and we will do our best to accommodate you at the Start/Finish aid station. Following are the locations and distances runners will hit aid stations as they traverse the 25-mile course (26.2 for marathoners).
