St. Joseph Trail Alliance to host outdoor event

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The St. Joseph Trail Alliance is hosting an upcoming outdoor event at the St. Joseph River Bluff Trails Park.

The event will feature a 5K and 10K trail run, followed by a mountain bike race, as well as a group trail run and nature hike.

There will be food trucks, an obstacle course for kids, community fun and so much more.

"So, I think the most important thing is that it's inclusive for everyone. It's family-friendly. We've got kids' events. There's something for the mountain bike racers or something for runners. There's something for people that just want to be outside enjoying nature and hiking," said Blake Hoppe, a St. Joseph Trail Alliance board member.

With an array of activities scheduled to take place, Hoppe said the event provides fun for everyone.

"I think it's something that anybody could have a good time at. A relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Food trucks. Just a fun way to spend a weekend," said Hoppe.

The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1.
