November 12, 2022 I McKinney Falls State Park
Join us for our 4th annual Friends of McKinney Falls 5K and support McKinney Falls!
The Friends of McKinney Falls 5K will raise funds to support the Onion Creek Trail Re-Route project at McKinney Falls. Due to 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.
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!
