See St. Joseph: Welcoming autumn this weekend
By Kendra Simpson
St. Joseph will be kicking off the new season with hayrides, not-so-spooky movies and a run through the parkway system. This week’s edition of See St. Joseph has everything to welcome autumn.
With the cooler temperatures, it is the perfect time to go out for a run and what better occasion to do so than the second annual St. Joseph Marathon.
Join in on a literal run through St. Joseph’s history. Starting in Civic Center Park, runners will run from the north to south end of town, see historic landmarks and parkway system in all of its autumn-glory. The marathon includes four races: the 5k, 10k, half-marathon and the full-marathon. The marathon also supports the growth and development of the Junior League of St. Joseph, the organizers of Cinderella’s Closet, Hope Totes and more. The half and full marathon begin at 7 a.m. Saturday with the 5k and 10k following at 7:30 a.m. in Civic Center Park. To register for the marathon, visit https://stjomosports.com/event/marathon/.
