🌎 Happy Earth Day from the Shawnee Mission Triathlon & Duathlon Team! 🌿
Today we celebrate the incredible planet that gives us our favorite playground—Shawnee Mission Park. From early‑morning training sessions to miles of beautiful trails, our race thrives because of the natural spaces we’re lucky to enjoy.
Earth Day is a great reminder that every athlete can make a difference.
Here are a few simple ways we can protect the park we love:
• Reduce waste by bringing reusable water bottles
• Stay on designated trails to protect wildlife habitats
• Keep our park clean—pack it in, pack it out
• Carpool or bike to training sessions when possible
And while we’re celebrating the outdoors… don’t forget to register for the 2026 Shawnee Mission Triathlon & Duathlon! Join us for another year of racing in one of Kansas’ most beautiful natural spaces.

Thank you for helping us keep Shawnee Mission Park healthy, beautiful, and thriving for future racers.
💚 Here’s to racing responsibly and celebrating the outdoors—today and every day!
