Discover the welcoming spirit of Leakin Park parkrun, a free weekly 5K event held every Saturday morning in Baltimore, MD. On May 30, 2026, join a vibrant community of runners, joggers, and walkers in the expansive and picturesque Gwynn's Falls/Leakin Park, an urban oasis known as the second-largest urban parkland in the United States.

The 5K course at Winan's Meadow offers a delightful double out-and-back experience, guiding participants along a blend of paved and natural trail paths. Runners can expect scenic vistas, generally flat terrain, and the tranquil sounds of babbling brooks, showcasing the natural beauty of this often-underappreciated green space. While parts of the course may be muddy or covered with leaves after rain, the overall atmosphere is one of shared enjoyment and encouragement. Typical race day conditions in late May bring comfortable highs around 81°F and lows around 64°F, with a modest 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Leakin Park parkrun prides itself on its close-knit, volunteer-led community that has been gathering since June 2017. Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best, a first-timer, or simply looking for an active start to your weekend, this event welcomes all abilities. The start and finish are conveniently located at Winan's Meadow, with parking available and toilets nearby. After your 5K, many participants continue the camaraderie with a post-parkrun coffee at a local café, solidifying the friendly and supportive environment that defines Leakin Park parkrun.
