1-Mile Fun Run, Walk and Roll

5/11/2024 | St. Francois State Park | Bonne Terre, MO

Participate in Children's Mental Health week by getting some exercise out in nature! On Saturday, May 11, we will host a 1-mile fun run, walk and roll sponsored by the Missouri Department of Mental Health. You’re invited to walk, run, bike, Rollerblade, push a stroller, or use other human-powered wheeled equipment to travel along the park road. You’ll be sharing the roadway with vehicles, but the majority of the route is within the one-way-traffic section of the park, so you can use half of the road. 

Be sure to wear running shoes and/or a helmet, depending on which activity you choose. Don't forget water and sunscreen! Meet at Shelter 2. 

This noncompetitive event is free, open to the public, and designed for all ages. Registration is required and can be completed by clicking here.

If you'd like a shirt and a medal, you may purchase a 5K kit for $20 from the National Alliance on Mental Health for $20.

For more information, call the park at 573-358-2173.

Event time: 8 a.m. - 9 a.m.
