The Watkins Mill Association is inviting the public to lace up their running shoes for the 10th Annual Get Outdoors 6.6k event on September 30th. The race will take place at the scenic Watkins Woolen Mill State Park and Historic Site, offering participants a chance to experience the natural beauty of Missouri while supporting a good cause.
The Get Outdoors 6.6k trail circles the 100-acre Williams Creek Lake within the historic Watkins Mill State Park. The certified paved track provides runners and walkers a serene journey through a canopy of well-preserved native woods.
