The Friends of McKinney Falls 5K will raise funds to support the Onion Creek Trail Re-Route project at McKinney Falls. Due to recent housing developments along the southern border, the park is re-routing this section of the Onion Creek Hike and Bike Trail to make it fully engrained in nature. While you're completeing your 5K along the Onion Creek Trail, you can see the houses that are in view along the southern border and the areas where they've started making the new trail!
Join us in helping to support one of the last wild places in Austin and to help us tell the story of a place that’s been visited by people for over 8,000 years!
