Announcements
We're going to be back at Lawrence High School for Summer 2022! Summer is just about here so it is time to think about summer workouts. We will start Wednesday, June 1 for weekday workouts, then our first Saturday Fun Run will be June 4.
- We will be at Lawrence High Mondays thru Thursdays at 6am and 6pm.
- Saturdays we will be at the Lied Center at 7am.
- There will be no restrooms at either place.
- There will be several street construction closures over the summer. Main ones to be aware of are: Naismith Drive (South of 19th), 18th Street (West of Naismith Drive), 19th Street (East of Naismith Drive). If you're coming from the West, that last one may be the biggest impact. More information is available from the City of Lawrence's 2022 Comprehensive Street Maintenance Program map and the University of Kansas Facilities Planning & Development's Construction Closures - Summer 2022 website.
