Scavenger Hunt Running Route #3: Starts August 15th
/
We’re on a roll and we’re looking forward to our virtual Scavenger Hunt #3 beginning this Saturday. This one courtesy of Jen Katheiser. Our 10 mile loop links Shawnee Mission Park to Black Hoof Park and it’s like no other! There are 4 targeted “finds” along the way, lots of scenery and several hills for a fun challenge.
There is a water fountain to refill your water bottle and a porta-potty stop at the parking lot and shelter next to 87th Lane and Woodland Rd. The Fountain and porta-potty are around mile 2 on the way out (and mile 8.5 on the way back).
The first runner to post selfies with all of the landmarks gets to create the next scavenger hunt. You have between August 15th and August 29th to complete your hunt.
Start: Shawnee Mission Park Archery Range
Distance: 10 miles
Date: August 15th- August 29th
How to Play:
Take a selfie at each landmark that you find.

Clues:
Start - You know you’re on “target“ when you spot this place at the top of SMP dam hill.
Mile 3.75 - Stroll down through the trails and up and across a big hill, you’ll find a well designed structure holding back the waters of beautiful Lake Lenexa.
Mile 3.75 - 4.75 - Turn left at the dam and you’ll find this part of the scavenger hunt is where the fun of single track will be what you discover. Take a picture of yourself in the canopy of trees. You may even see a deer!
Mile 7.5 - After wandering through this hilly wooded neighborhood, you will find a welcoming red structure. Be sure to take a picture before you head back down Woodland Rd and back to the start of the course.
We can’t wait to see you in person again some day soon! Stay tuned for more information on the gating criteria that we will follow to determine when we will resume to “in person” group runs. Thanks for your patience, stay healthy, and have FUN!
