Beat Beethoven 5k

The Beat Beethoven 5K is a unique running event held in Lawrence, Kansas, where participants race to complete a 5K before the Lawrence Community Orchestra finishes playing a 30-minute piece by Beethoven. Scheduled for April 26, 2025, the event encourages runners and walkers of all ages to enjoy music and fitness. The race starts and finishes at the Southwind Regal movie theatre parking lot, covering a segment of the Lawrence Loop.

Participants who register by April 1 will receive a commemorative race day shirt, and awards will be given to the top three finishers in the form of concert tickets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
