Colonial Summer Fun Run Series - Abington

The Colonial Summer Fun Run Series - Abington offers a refreshing mid-week opportunity to hit the pavement with a friendly and supportive running community. Scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, 2026, in Abington, MA, this event is part of a beloved weekly series organized by the Colonial Road Runners, a club established in 1979 to foster camaraderie and encourage runners of all abilities. Participants will tackle a 3.31-mile course, designed to be relatively flat and accessible, with many portions featuring sidewalks and no street crossings, making for a smooth and enjoyable experience. The starting line is conveniently located at the Mt. Vernon Cemetery entrance, with the finish on the left side of the Abington Police Station at 215 Central Street.

As a highlight of the Colonial Road Runners' Summer Fun Run series, this event is more about community and consistent participation than competitive racing. Your $2.00 weekly entry provides a professionally timed run, with results posted online for you to track your progress throughout the summer. Typical race day conditions in late July in Abington see highs around 86°F and lows around 65°F, with a 12% chance of precipitation, so runners should plan to stay hydrated. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottles to ensure they remain refreshed throughout the course. This non-competitive atmosphere, combined with the convenience of using the same assigned bib for all summer and winter fun runs across the series' various locations, truly makes this a unique and welcoming running experience for everyone.
