LHC North Canal Classic 5k Road Race

As of 2020, we are no longer hosting the Annual North Canal Classic 5k Run/Walk/Roll.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all previous sponsors and participants in our race — a community event that started in May 2014.

The Lawrence History Center hosted a road race in the North Canal district of Lawrence to raise awareness of the History Center in the community, and to promote fitness and economic and cultural development in the City of Lawrence. The route highlighted many of the revitalization efforts in the city’s parks and historic mill buildings, and will utilize local vendors whenever feasible in all aspects of the event production and promotion. The date was selected to coincide with Ralph Fasanella Day (May 18), honoring the artist whose well-known paintings of The Great Strike honor the role of Lawrence in the labor movement.
