Tour de Trail: Cedar Niles

Tour de Trail: Cedar Niles is a trail running event in Olathe, KS at 25117 W 119th St. The advertised distance is 10k, and the Tour de Trail series stages generally range from approximately 5.5 to 6.5 miles as organizers aim to keep courses near 10 kilometers.

Registration for the single race is listed at $50, with $5 of each entry donated to Urban Trail Co. Race day registration is available at a higher fee and accepts cash, check, Venmo, or card via Venmo. Results will be recorded with clock timing and posted online.

Aid on course is water only and the event is cupless, so participants must provide their own hydration device such as a handheld or hydration vest. The finish area will offer cold fizzy water, soda, and light snacks.

Course markings will use distinctive flagging and will be described in the pre race briefing. Rules include no poles except by medical exemption from the race director, no alcohol in the park, a requirement to pack out litter, and leash and cleanup requirements for dogs. Personal music devices are allowed with headphones at a volume that permits awareness of others. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult for the full race.

All participants receive a trail specific sticker and a special piece of swag. Each stage awards first, second, and third places in woman, man, and non binary categories. Athletes who complete all six Tour de Trail stages receive a special finisher award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
