Lace up your shoes for the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun on April 11, 2026, in Pasadena, MD, a welcoming 5K event set on the historic Baltimore and Annapolis Trail. This free, community-focused run unfolds on a flat, paved out-and-back course, offering an excellent opportunity for runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to achieve a personal best or simply enjoy the outdoors. The scenic rail-trail, built on a former railway line, provides ample shade as it winds through natural wooded areas and charming neighborhoods, featuring historical markers and even sections of the NASA Planet Walk along the way.

Beyond the fast and smooth terrain, what truly defines the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun is its vibrant, volunteer-led atmosphere. Since its inception in September 2021, the event has cultivated a reputation as a friendly gathering where both local regulars and visiting parkrun tourists are embraced. Expect typical spring race day conditions with comfortable highs around 65F and lows around 43F, coupled with a low 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a morning run. While traditional aid stations are not provided, the start/finish area near the main parking lot (off Jumpers Hole Road by the LA Fitness) offers convenient access to nearby amenities, and many participants gather for post-run coffee, fostering a strong sense of community.
