The Flint Hills Region is a beautiful place to walk, jog and run. Visitors and locals can find a number of running trails available to them. This page lists maps of area routes, submitted by runners. If you've got a favorite course and can send us a map, we'll be happy to post it here, as well!

MANHATTAN

  • Colbert Hills Drive. A hilly 6.5-miles or so, bordering the beautiful Colbert Hills Golf Course.
  • "Gateway". British writer Geoff Ryman calls the area just east of Manhattan's K Hill "The
    Gate". The passage between K Hill and Bluemont Hill is the narrowest passage through which the Kansas River flows. Manhattan's downtown is actually the gateway to the upper Kansas River Valley. This course is about 6 miles long, with some challenging ascents.
  • Manhattan High School to K-State, Loop Courses. A run "out on the town". Options for 4, 5, 6 or 7 mile loops. Remember to watch for traffic.
  • Anderson-Amherst (Out-and-Back). Take your pick of 3, 4, 5 or 6 miles, beginning on the flat Linear Park Trail, but soon taking on the challenging Amherst ascents.
  • Bluemont Ascents. Several challenging ascents through Manhattan neighborhoods. 6 miles
  • Park to Park: Cico to Anneberg Loop. Rolling hills leading to Anneberg Trail. 5 miles
  • Manhattan High School to Stagg Hill (out and back course). Options for 4, 5 or 6 miles. Nice, safe neighborhood run.
  • The Konza Prairie. Lose yourself on this rugged but scenic course. 2.8, 4.7 or 6.1 mile loops.
  • Northeast Community Park/Linear Trail. An out-and-back course along the Big Blue River. We've marked 6 miles, but you can do more or less. Very flat.
  • Washington/Marlatt Memorial Run. The easy, flat Hudson Trail leads to a more challenging and hilly course, including the "Top of the World" city overlook. About 6 miles.
