Spirit Trails Coalition Meeting

New Surface

Asphalt was added to a portion of the trail inside Knob Noster State Park. This area has experienced washouts in the past. Thanks, park staff for improving the trail.

The city of Warrensburg and Johnson County are working on improving and protecting the trail surface as well. Thanks, for making the trail safer and more enjoyable,

Spirit Trail Story Boards

Several members of the Coalition board greeted members of the community at Culvers in Warrensburg for a fund-raising event. The proceeds will be used to keep the trail in great condition, Thanks community, board and Culver's for a successful and fun evening.

Spirit Trail Classic

Run organized and conducted by Chasing Happiness Race Company on September 8, 2026.

A good thing had to come to an end -- our joint venture with Trails Regional Library. Story boards were placed along the trail, each with a new page from a children's book for a two-week period. What fun and a huge success. Thanks to all who made it happen.

Thanks to the wonderful volunteers who make our community a better place.
