Join fellow runners for the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun, a free weekly 5K community event taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in Pasadena, MD. This popular parkrun is celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to healthy activity, drawing a diverse crowd of local participants and international "parkrun tourists" alike. The course offers a straightforward and enjoyable experience, unfolding entirely on the permanent paved paths of the scenic Baltimore and Annapolis Trail. Runners can anticipate a generally flat "out and back" route with one turnaround, shaded along much of its length, though sections may accumulate leaves or puddles after rain. Typical race day conditions for late February often see highs around 49F and lows near 30F, with a 13% chance of precipitation, creating a brisk and invigorating running environment.

Starting and finishing conveniently near the main parking lot off Jumpers Hole Road, near the LA Fitness, this volunteer-led event emphasizes community spirit over competition. While there are no aid stations, the course's location is near various shops and restaurants for post-run needs, and the tradition includes a friendly gathering for coffee at Panera Bread afterward. The Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun has been a local fixture since September 2021, regularly celebrating personal bests and milestones for its participants, making it a perfect opportunity whether you're aiming for a new record or simply seeking an encouraging start to your weekend.
