Jen K. on single track trail SMP.
Welcome to October running with RRKC!
We kick off the month with a Scavenger Hunt Run. This one is courtesy of Jen K. 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 porta-potty stop at the parking lot and shelter next to 87th Lane and Woodland Rd along with our 2-mile water stop.
Start: Shawnee Mission Park Archery Range
Distance: 10 miles
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 a 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.
