The Tale of Two Trails race takes place in the scenic Shawnee Mission Park in Johnson County, Kansas, featuring a blend of two distinct trail systems. Runners can experience a variety of routes with the 20M, 40M, and 50M races traversing both the North and South shore trails, connected briefly by paved paths. Each loop measures approximately 20M, ensuring an engaging experience immersed in nature. The course presents a mix of smooth, runnable sections and technical terrain, with roots, rocks, and rolling hills challenging participants. Most trails are shaded beneath a canopy of trees, interspersed with some exposed areas. While course distances are provided, be mindful that GPS readings may vary. The trails are open to the public, so runners should familiarize themselves with the route and remain aware of course markers along the way.
