Discover the Creekside parkrun, a free, fun, and friendly weekly 5K community event held every Saturday at Creekside Park in Archdale, NC. On June 6, 2026, runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and abilities are invited to experience this welcoming event. The course, entirely on paved tarmac paths, offers an out-and-back route through the scenic 110-acre municipal park. While generally accessible, some visitors have noted that Creekside's course can be "a little bit hillier" than other parkruns, providing a satisfying challenge. Directional arrows guide participants, and marshals are present at key sections to ensure a smooth experience. Typical race day conditions for this time of year include highs around 85°F and lows around 64°F, with an 18% chance of precipitation.

Creekside parkrun, which officially launched in September 2021 as North Carolina's second parkrun, has quickly built a reputation for its inclusive and supportive atmosphere. It's not uncommon to see "barkrunners" (dogs) joining their owners on the course, adding to the vibrant community feel. The 5K begins behind the Senior Center within Creekside Park, and conveniently located restrooms are available near the start/finish area, as well as throughout the park.

More than just a timed event, Creekside parkrun is a celebration of outdoor activity and community spirit. It's entirely volunteer-organized, emphasizing participation and personal achievement over strict competition. Many participants achieve personal bests and first-timers are always welcomed. Come join the local community and "parkrun tourists" from around the world for a refreshing start to your Saturday.
