Lace up your shoes for the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event taking place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in Pasadena, MD. This free, volunteer-led run offers a welcoming atmosphere for walkers, joggers, and runners of all abilities. The course unfolds along the historic Baltimore and Annapolis Trail, a former railroad line converted into a permanent paved path. This out-and-back route is notably flat and straight, providing an excellent opportunity for personal bests or a comfortable and scenic experience. Most of the trail benefits from ample tree coverage, offering shade from the summer sun.

Runners will enjoy a pleasant journey through residential areas, interspersed with stretches bordered by trees, and may even spot historical markers along the way. Typical race day conditions in late July see highs around 89°F and lows around 69°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation. The start and finish lines are conveniently located near the main parking lot along Jumpers Hole Road, just off the LA Fitness parking lot.

Beyond the run itself, the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail parkrun is celebrated for its strong community spirit. Participants often gather for a post-run coffee at a local Panera Bread, fostering connections and camaraderie. While no dedicated aid stations are part of the parkrun format, the event emphasizes a friendly, supportive environment, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a consistent and enjoyable 5K experience.
