Approximately 15 minutes south of Chalet Apartments is the 13 mile paved  Shunga Trail.    It starts at Crestview Trail and meanders through woods, parks and intersects the Landon Nature Trail. It’s a great place to run or mountain bike with family and friends.   The trail provides a natural setting for getting fit or increasing endurance.

But if you’re trying to decide how to create a route that encompasses both trails, visit MapMyRun.  It allows you to customize a workout, whether you’re looking to find a marathon length route or shorter paths with varying scenery.    But if you prefer to workout with a group, contact the Sunflower Striders Club.  Their season kicks off September 6th with a 5k run followed by breakfast.  However you choose to run, Topeka offers a variety of community events, trails and meet ups to suit your needs!
