Join us as we celebrate the outdoors while helping the Johnson County Sertoma Club launch its fund raising drive for the future Oak Ridge Lodge in Shawnee Mission Park. Plans for the former Mack family residence and surrounding parklands call for transforming the Ogg Road site into a one-of-a-kind community gathering point and a respite for hikers, cyclists, birders and all who love nature. Perfect for family gatherings, weddings, and corporate meetings, the lodge will be a welcoming place in the style of the great Adirondack retreats. The park addition will include multiple trailheads, magnificent views, and 100 acres of wildflower meadows and native prairie surrounded by 254 acres of hardwood forest.
Storytelling, nature art activities, hayrides, outdoor games and adventures - fun
physical and mental challenges for family members of all ages. These activities
are included in the festival admission fee.
Are you up for it? If your answer is 'Yes!' we've got a 2-mile
road race or a 5-mile trail run. If your answer is, 'Uh,
maybe not...' we've got a relaxing 1.5-mile stroll. A
$25 entry fee for the running challenges includes
t-shirt and festival admission. Presented by the
Kansas City Trail Nerds.
Routes range from a family-friendly,
no-entry-fee 2-mile route to the swooping
single-track 'Adventurer' path. Need more?
