Fellow Cyclists,
I love riding the Cottonwood 200 through the spectacular Flint Hills of Kansas! I also love to ride, run and walk on Kansas trails.
In the future it will be possible to ride your bike from Topeka to Council Grove on two trails being developed by the Kanza Rail-Trails Conservancy.
If you will make a tax-deductible contribution to the Kanza Rail-Trails Conservancy, Inc. and reference the “Cottonwood 200 Challenge”, then your donation will be matched dollar for dollar up to a total of $5000 by a charitable trust.
You may contribute by mail at: Kanza Rail Trails Conservancy, Inc., PO Box 3863, Topeka, KS 66604. Please reference: Cottonwood 200 Challenge.
Your membership is as important as your financial support.
All funds are used to develop trail by unpaid volunteers. You are also invited to join the effort personally.
The Landon Nature Trail runs 38 miles south from Topeka to near Pomona where it joins the Flint Hills Nature Trail that runs west to Council Grove and Herington. It also runs east of Pomona to Osawatomie, intersecting the Prairie Spirit Trail at Ottawa.
Imagine the enjoyment that people of all ages and abilities will have on KRTC’s 155 miles of trails in northeast Kansas for years to come.
Additional information about the Kanza Rail-Trails Conservancy, the Landon Nature Trail and the Flint Hills Nature Trail is available at:

Please contribute generously.
Two hundred fifty Cottonwood 200 riders each at $20?
One hundred Cottonwood 200 riders each at $50?
Fifty Cottonwood 200 riders at $100?
The charitable trust really wants to mail the $5000 check. Make them pay! Now would be an excellent time to do so.
Make a difference. Thank you.
Ed Lincoln
