Clues:
From the North end of the parking lot, follow the path NE next to the soccer fields. You can’t miss these giant red running sculptures. Take a selfie with one or both of these metallic runners. Run down the ramp, through the parking lot E toward the entrance to the trail. Once on the paved trail, you will be heading WEST (away from the Dog Park).
Head West and South to the College Bridge. After you run under the College bridge, take a 180 degree turn North back under the College bridge (about mile 1) and head West towards your next clue.
Shortly after 2 miles, you will venture off the trail to the second landmark. This is a business place known for treating injured runners and getting them back on the road ;) It is celebrating 5 years in business this October! Do you know the owner? Take a selfie in front of this “famous” clinic.
Once you enter Roe Park (about mile 3), head slightly off course to the North to capture this flying boy sculpture. This boy looks after us when we run intervals. Bathrooms are open near the playground.
Once you run under Nall Bridge, do NOT continue West on the trail. Instead, make a 360 loop and run over the Nall bridge heading North up Nall hill.. Capture the trailhead again (before Top Golf) and run West towards the next landmark.
Shortly after you’ve returned to the paved trail around four miles, you will see a path to the North with a concrete stairway that heads up up up towards Shawnee Mission HS. Run or walk those steps and take a Selfie at the TOP.
A last clue is a place where you can become a kid again. Take a selfie “playing” at this playground which is at about 5.3 miles. Bathrooms are located under the shelter area.
