Walktober 2024: Fort Osage

Walk, ride or run a different trail the first four Sundays in October with KC Parks and Recreation. The month of October is ideal for exercising outside ~ the temperatures are cool and the colors are spectacular.

Walktober makes the most of this great season by inviting participants on a tour of autumn’s most vibrant landscapes and inspiring everyone to make movement a priority. 

Commemorative Walktober buttons, designed by artist Alex Hamil, for the first 200 participants at each location. Attend all four events and collect all four designs.

Dogs on leashes are welcome.
