Tale of Two Trails

About:Tale of Two Trails runs through the locally popular and beautiful Shawnee Mission Park in Johnson County, Kansas. It receives its name because it combines two separate trail systems in the same park. The 10M race is the only course that runs on one system.The 20M, 40m, and 50m are run throughout both Shawnee Mission’s North and South shore trail systems, connected by a brief amount of paved trail. Each loop is 20M long. *Due to the nature of trail running in the Kansas City area, if Urban Trail Co and the Johnson County land managers close the trails due to wet conditions, we will have an alternate route consisting of bridle trail, cross country, paved and gravel. New for 2026: We will be starting and finishing from Shelter 8 instead of the marina parking lot.
