Tale Of Two Trails
The Tale of Two Trails is a trail running event held in Shawnee Mission Park, Johnson County, Kansas, featuring distances of 10, 20, 40, and 50 miles. The race uniquely combines two separate trail systems within the park, with the longer distances covering both the North and South shore trails connected by paved sections. The course offers a mix of smooth runnable paths and technical terrain with roots, rocks, and rolling hills, mostly shaded by tree canopy.
Aid stations are cupless and well-stocked, and drop bags are allowed for longer distances. The event emphasizes environmental respect, safety, and inclusivity, partnering with the Trail Mix Fund to support diverse participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
