Running enthusiasts are invited to explore the scenic trails of Wyandotte County Lake Park for an unforgettable 50k, 25k, or 12k race. The event kicks off with the longest distance starting at 8am from Shelter 16, followed by a second wave at 9am featuring both shorter courses. Shelter 16 is conveniently located near Shelter 14 and opposite the Archery Range/Dog Park, making it easy for participants to find their way. The race course offers runners an extensive tour of Kansas City's premier trail system, winding through lush landscapes on nearly all single-track paths in a large clockwise loop. The terrain includes some rocks and roots but remains generally smooth and manageable without any bridle trails involved. At the finish line, expect hearty post-race fare from Whiskey River Pizza & Pub to celebrate your achievement with fellow runners. Registration comes packed with perks such as race shirts for early sign-ups by September 13th (no guarantees after that date), catered food throughout the day, and even a beer at the end. Completing the 50k earns you an exclusive finisher hat in addition to medals and stickers custom-made for each distance. Participants are encouraged to check the race website for additional details leading up to the event. Mile90 will be on hand capturing memorable moments along the course, ensuring that your hard-earned success is commemorated beautifully. For those looking to join at the last minute, there’s still a chance of securing some swag items and correct sizes through race-day registration, though it's not guaranteed due to limited availability. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself while enjoying one of Kansas City’s most scenic trail networks!
