Tour de Trail - Shawnee Mission Park South
The Tour de Trail - Shawnee Mission Park South is a trail running event held in Shawnee, Kansas. Organized by Team Sparkle, this event is part of a larger series designed to introduce participants to various trail systems throughout the Kansas City area. The race takes place at Shawnee Mission Park, specifically starting from Shelter 10.
Participants can choose from the following distance:
- 10 km (approximately 5.5 to 6.5 miles)
The course primarily utilizes single-track trails. In the event of trail closures due to rain, an alternate route consisting of cross-country paths, equestrian trails, or paved surfaces may be used to protect the landscape. The event is open to both runners and hikers, with a course cutoff time of four hours.
This is a cupless event, meaning participants must carry their own hydration devices, such as vests or handheld bottles. The aid station provides water only, while the finish line offers light snacks and drinks. The event follows specific rules to ensure trail conservation, including a strict no-littering policy and the prohibition of trekking poles unless a medical exemption is granted. Dogs are permitted on the course but must remain leashed at all times.
A portion of every registration fee is donated to Urban Trail Co to support the maintenance of local trails. Participants receive a sticker branded for the specific trail system and a piece of event swag. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
