Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun

Lace up your shoes for the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun on October 24, 2026, a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a free, community-focused 5K in Pasadena, MD. This weekly event welcomes participants of all abilities, whether you prefer to walk, jog, or run, fostering a friendly atmosphere that has been a local favorite since September 2021. Typical race day conditions in late October offer crisp autumn air with highs around 65°F and lows near 45°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a scenic outing.

The course itself is a highlight, unfolding along a paved, out-and-back section of the historic Baltimore and Annapolis Trail. Runners will appreciate the generally flat terrain and the ample shade provided by trees lining much of the route, making for a comfortable experience. While there are no dedicated aid stations on this volunteer-led event, the start and finish are conveniently located near the main parking lot off Jumpers Hole Road, adjacent to the LA Fitness parking lot, with shops and restaurants nearby if needed.

What truly sets the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun apart is its inclusive spirit and commitment to bringing people together. After you've completed your 5K, join fellow participants for a cherished post-parkrun coffee at Panera Bread, a tradition that perfectly encapsulates the welcoming community spirit of this event. It’s more than just a run; it's a chance to connect, celebrate personal achievements, and enjoy the outdoors along a picturesque trail.
