Every year the Friends work diligently with the staff at McCormick’s Creek State Park to host annual events that people have come to know and love. The Friends contribute by providing volunteers, financial assistance, and planning. Some of these events are:
First-Day Hike and Photo Contest
Spring 5k
Wildflower Weekend
Arts, Blues, and BBQ
Fall Trail 10k/5k
Fall-O-Ween
The Friends host two running/walking races each year, the Spring 5k Road Race, and the Fall 5k/10k Run to the Creek trail run. These races are very popular and generate the majority of the Friends funding for the year.
