Event Details

Henry Horton State Park will be hosting the third-annual Duck River Outdoor Expo July 10th-12th. This expo fosters a deep appreciation for the Duck River while inspiring individuals to get out and explore the outdoors through a variety of adventure-based activities. Some of the activities include the Run Duck Run Duathlon, Mountain Bike Race, Mad Mallard Ultra Run, and more. On July 11th, in addition to the recreational events, we will have a full day of educational booths and outdoor exhibitors, a nature market, a kids' zone, live music, and food trucks free to the public.

The expo benefits Henry Horton State Park and the conservation of the Duck River. The park is looking for local sponsorships for the event. These sponsorships will help fund our recreational events. Other areas that the donations will be allocated to include educational demonstrations, live entertainment, the kids’ zone, and the conservation efforts on the Duck River, benefiting those in attendance and Henry Horton State Park.
