Lace up your shoes for the Lucy Park parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event taking place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, in Wichita Falls, TX. This free, timed run, jog, or walk is a fantastic opportunity to embrace the outdoors, offering a welcoming atmosphere for participants of all ages and abilities. Typical race day conditions in late March boast pleasant highs around 74°F and lows of 47°F, with only a 9% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a scenic morning run.

The course itself is an accurately measured 5K out-and-back route, starting conveniently next to the Main Pavilion and Sound Garden area of Lucy Park. Runners will enjoy a fully paved, 10-foot-wide path that winds along the picturesque Circle Trail, hugging the Wichita River and guiding you past the notable "The Falls." This trail is mostly flat with some gentle hills, making it ideal for those seeking a steady pace without technical challenges, and offering a peaceful escape amidst the park's lush greenery and vibrant tree canopies. While parkruns are volunteer-led and don't feature traditional aid stations, toilet facilities are conveniently located near the start/finish area, and the park itself offers drinking fountains.

Lucy Park parkrun is more than just a race; it's a weekly celebration of fitness and community. Organized entirely by volunteers, it fosters a motivating environment where everyone, from first-timers to seasoned runners, can participate. With its beautiful riverside scenery, accessible paved paths, and the unique charm of Lucy Park, this 5K promises an enjoyable and invigorating experience in the heart of Wichita Falls.
