Beat Beethoven 5K - Lawrence, KS
The Beat Beethoven event on April 25, 2026 включает an in-person 5K and a Virtual 5K. The concept pairs running with live music: a Lawrence Community Orchestra string quartet will play a 30 minute Beethoven piece and participants see if they can complete the 5K before the music ends.
The in-person start and finish are located in the Southwind Regal movie theatre parking lot at 3433 Iowa St, Lawrence. The routed course covers a segment of the Lawrence Loop. Registration by April 1 includes a commemorative race day shirt. Awards for the top three finishers consist of tickets to a Lawrence Community Orchestra concert.
Packet pickup is scheduled for Friday, April 24 from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Fleet Feet, 839 Massachusetts in Lawrence, and on the day of the event beginning at 8:45 AM at the race site. Event entry fees are listed at $30 for both the in-person and virtual options, with different registration deadlines for each.
Spectators and participants are invited to bring a chair to listen to the string quartet. The event combines a timed community run or walk with a short live musical performance and benefits the Lawrence Community Orchestra. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
