Here are two upcoming runs in Lawrence, one in July and one in September:
The Mass Street Mile will be held in downtown Lawrence on July 4th with the first heat starting at 9am. This is open to all ages and abilities and is going to be put on in conjunction with the Tour of Lawrence bike races that weekend. Participants will enjoy a certified 1 mile course that will be divided up in three heats. Awards will be given out to top 3 male/female in each age divisions. There will also be awards to the fastest male/female time and the top Master male/female time. All participants will receive a great Mass Street Mile official tee shirt and chip timing. Registration forms can be picked up at Garry Gribble's Running Sports at 839 Mass street or online at www.massstreetmile.com Questions can be asked by emailing dj.hilding@gmail.com or at www.kcrunningcompany.com.
Looking ahead for an autumn run? The 2nd Annual Head for the Cure 5k-Lawrence will be on Sunday morning on September 26th. This run benefits the Chris Anthony Brain Tumor Research Fund, Brain Tumor Trials Collaborative and Solace House, so come out to support a good cause. There were over 250 runners last year for the 5k and they are hoping to build on that number this year. The race will again take place at the YSI fields in Southwest Lawrence. Information can be found at www.headforthecure.com or by emailing dj.hilding@gmail.com.
