Description:

Tale of Two Trails runs through Shawnee Mission Park in Johnson County, Kansas. It receives its name because it combines two trail systems in the same park. The 10M race is the only course that runs on one system.
The 20M, 40m, and 100k are run throughout both Shawnee Mission’s North and South shore trail systems, connected by a brief amount of paved trails. Each loop is 20M long.

Shawnee Mission Park has a little of everything terrain-wise.  There will be some very smooth and runnable sections and some very technical sections.  Be prepared for roots and rocks, and some rolling hills.  The trails run primarily through the tree canopy, but a few very exposed areas will be throughout each loop. The stated mileage of the course will be as accurate as we can get but your GPS device may vary due to a variety of reasons, therefore all stated distances should be considered “-ish”.
