Lace up for the Creekside parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event held weekly in Archdale, NC. On Saturday, April 4, 2026, join fellow runners, joggers, and walkers for a free and friendly outing within the picturesque Creekside Park. This accessible 5K course is run entirely on smooth tarmac paths, offering a clear, out-and-back route that guides participants with directional arrows. While mostly paved, be aware that some sections may have mud, leaves, or puddles following rain. The course does feature some gentle hills, providing a varied and engaging experience for all abilities.

Creekside parkrun welcomes everyone, from first-timers to seasoned athletes, and is well-known for its inclusive atmosphere, even accommodating "barkrunners" (dogs) and children. Participants consistently praise the supportive and welcoming vibe. The start and finish lines are conveniently located behind the Senior Center within Creekside Park, with restrooms readily available nearby. While there are no formal aid stations, it's recommended to bring your own water bottle. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 71°F and lows around 47°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running weather.

Beyond the run, Creekside Park offers additional amenities, including disc golf and orienteering courses, making it a hub of outdoor activity. As a free, volunteer-led event, Creekside parkrun provides a fantastic opportunity to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with the local community.
