Get ready to embrace summer running at the Colonial Summer Fun Run Series in Abington, a weekly tradition presented by the Colonial Road Runners. On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, runners will gather in Abington, MA, for the 3.3-mile course. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 84°F and lows near 63°F, alongside a low 10% chance of precipitation, making for a warm yet often pleasant evening run.

The Abington Fun Run kicks off from Woodsdale Elementary School at 120 Chestnut St.. While specific detailed course maps for each summer run vary, the Colonial Road Runners are known for utilizing local routes that may include sections of the Abington-Rockland Rail Trail, offering a relatively flat and accessible experience through local scenery. This series is renowned for its fun, supportive, and non-competitive atmosphere, welcoming runners of all ages and abilities. Participants are encouraged to bring their own hydration to stay comfortable on the course, as dedicated aid stations are not typically provided.

What makes this series truly stand out is its consistent, community-focused approach to running. For a nominal weekly donation, you get a timed run with results posted online by CRR volunteers. The bib you receive at registration is your assigned number for the entire Summer and even Winter Fun Run series across all three locations, fostering a sense of continuity and friendly competition throughout the year. It’s a perfect opportunity to maintain fitness, connect with fellow runners, and enjoy the camaraderie that defines the Colonial Road Runners community.
