Tour de Trail: Cedar Niles

Tour de Trail: Cedar Niles, Olathe KS

Tour de Trail: Cedar Niles is a trail running event organized by Team Sparkle in Olathe, KS, held on October 17, 2026. The event is presented as part of the Tour de Trail series, which includes six trail races held at different local trail systems. Individual races aim for a 10 km distance and typically range from about 5.5 to 6.5 miles depending on trail conditions.

Entry fees are listed as $50 per race, with $5 of each entry donated to Urban Trail Co. Race day registration is offered at $60. Discounted pricing is available for signing up for all six races as a series; a full series price is listed as $265 if registered by the stated deadline. Timing is measured by clock timing and results are posted on UltraSignup.

Aid stations provide water only; the event is cupless so participants must bring their own hydration device such as a handheld or hydration vest. Cold drinks and light snacks will be available at the finish. Course markings use distinctive flagging and the layout is explained in a pre-race briefing. Runners are responsible for safe road crossings and for following the course as marked.

Event rules include no poles except by prior exemption, no alcohol in Johnson County parks, and required leash control and waste pickup for dogs. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Awards include first, second, and third places for women, men, and non-binary divisions, plus a handmade finishers award for each stage. Participants who complete all six series races receive a special finishers award. The event supports the Trail Mix Fund for race fee assistance and accepts donations to that program.
