Tour de Trail: Shawnee Mission Park South

Tour de Trail: Shawnee Mission Park South is a 10K trail race held in Shawnee, Kansas, on November 14, 2026, organized by Team Sparkle KC. There is a single format, run on the trails of Shawnee Mission Park in the Kansas City suburbs, which keeps the event short, focused and accessible to a wide range of runners.

A trail 10K is one of the best ways to discover off-road running: long enough to feel like a real race, short enough to recover from quickly. It suits beginners looking for a first trail experience as much as faster runners who want a hard effort on rolling, rooty ground in mid-November. An 8-week block with two runs a week on trail, a few short hill repeats and one longer weekend run of 8 to 10 miles will get you there. Dress for cool mornings and choose shoes with enough grip for wet leaves.
