Lawrence Sprint #2 - Constant-Burcham Park

Lawrence Constant-Burcham Park
11:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon
Saturday, June 20

  • Parking and the finish are at Constant Park on the north east corner of 6th and Tennessee.
  • The start is about 750 meters from the parking/finish area.
  • The course is 2.96 km.
  • You can run in shorts. We've had a lot of rain this week, so there may be a few muddy spots.
  • The map uses two special symbols: Purple lines indicate an area that has not been field checked. The area is wooded and you won't go into the forest, but you will use the trails that go through the un-fieldchecked. Olive green indicates areas that are off limits. Most are landscaped areas.
  • The course crosses a train track. The track is active but trains are not common during the day. Look both ways as you approach the tracks and do NOT cross the tracks if a train is coming.
  • After the run, I encourage you to spend some time in downtown Lawrence.

Lawrence Arboretum Sprint

Lawrence Arboretum Sprint
9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Saturday, June 20

Gene Wee, course setter for the Lawrence Arboretum Sprint, cautions:

"My course for Sat. may have people choosing to run through knee-high grass. Either spray bug repellent or wear gaiters or long pants. . . or take the routes with 100% mowed grass or pavement."
