Lawrencians know that Mike Wildgen, city manager, runs Lawrence. He also runs Lawrence. Perhaps you don't control the city budget, but you can run around Lawrence like Mike. Come out June 11 to see a whole lot of Lawrence. This 3rd annual urban orienteering event is a continuation of the "scavenger hunt with a map" done two years ago with the Jayhawks on Parade statues. Here are some photos from 2004.
Runners training for a marathon can get in a long workout but making a game of it really makes the time fly by.
Orienteers, who usually run in the woods (and in the winter around here), will find a few more route choice decisions and can take advantage of their mapreading skills with increased IOF symbols added to the map.
Groups wanting to play a walking game don't have to stay out the whole time limit. There will be plenty of control points close to the start area.
Awards will be given not only to the top finishers but also by random draw. Winners can be anyone, not just the random luck of having "fast runner" genes. Come run, enjoy the workout, and earn a prize.
If interested, please submit entries before June 9 to insure your copy of the color map. Questions? Email me at gmw@ku.edu.
