Designed with all participants in mind, the Greenlodge 5K promises a fast and friendly course through Dedham's scenic routes, offering beautiful surroundings for runners and walkers alike. Whether you're a seasoned athlete aiming for a personal best or looking for a fun morning stroll with family, this event welcomes all levels of fitness and community spirit. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 64°F and lows around 45°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for an enjoyable race experience. The race kicks off at 9:00 AM EDT from Greenlodge Elementary School, located at 191 Greenlodge Street.
