Runners of the Skyline Scramble will enjoy beautiful views of Topeka as they wind their way through the wooded south summit of Skyline Park. The rugged 2.15 mile single loop track of rock, root, and board walk features the highest point on Burnett’s Mound, the site of the 1966 tornado. Each loop boasts just over 250 ft of elevation gain – but don’t be fooled, this will add up!
