Lace up for a refreshing start to your Saturday at the Evergreen parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event taking place on August 15, 2026, in Andover, NJ. Nestled in the scenic Evergreen Park within Green Township, this free, timed run offers a unique blend of rural charm and global camaraderie. You'll navigate a mostly tree-lined, flat course that combines paved paths with grassy sections, even featuring a historic abandoned railroad bed trail. The route starts conveniently at the Evergreen Park pavilion, making one lap around the soccer field before winding through the park and along the trail, returning to the finish near where you began.

Evergreen parkrun, born from a passion for community, has quickly become a local favorite, known for its friendly atmosphere and picturesque surroundings. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow runners and walkers, even meeting participants from across the globe who come to experience this welcoming event. While parkruns are volunteer-led and focus on community participation rather than formal aid stations, public restrooms are available at the park pavilion, and many participants gather for coffee and refreshments at nearby local cafes post-run.

Prepare for typical race day conditions with historical August temperatures showing highs around 82°F and lows around 60°F, accompanied by a 19% chance of precipitation. This inviting 5K welcomes all paces, whether you're looking to set a personal best, enjoy a leisurely walk, or simply soak in the natural beauty of Green Township. Come discover what makes Evergreen parkrun a cherished weekly tradition.
