Tale Of Two Trails
The Tale of Two Trails is a trail running event held in Shawnee Mission Park, Johnson County, Kansas. It features multiple distances: 10 miles, 20 miles, 40 miles, 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 paths.
The course offers a mix of smooth runnable sections and technical terrain with roots, rocks, and rolling hills, mostly shaded by tree canopy. Aid stations are cupless, requiring runners to carry their own reusable cups. The event emphasizes environmental care, strict race rules, and inclusivity through the Trail Mix Fund supporting underrepresented communities.
