Mace Ranch parkrun

Get ready to embrace a vibrant community spirit at the Mace Ranch parkrun, a free 5K event held every Saturday morning at 8:00 AM in Davis, CA. On July 11, 2026, join fellow runners, joggers, and walkers for an inclusive and friendly experience perfect for all ages and abilities. The course itself offers a dynamic journey, starting and finishing near the restrooms in the picnic and playground area of Mace Ranch Park, close to the Korematsu school parking lot. From there, you'll embark on an out-and-back route that combines permanent paved paths with a scenic gravel trail, winding past agricultural land, residential areas, and a golf course along the Wildhorse Greenbelt Trail. The terrain is largely flat, making it accessible for everyone from seasoned runners seeking a timed effort to those simply enjoying a leisurely walk.

Mace Ranch parkrun stands out for its welcoming atmosphere, built entirely by dedicated volunteers who ensure a smooth and enjoyable event each week. While you'll receive a timed result for your 5K effort, the emphasis is firmly on participation, well-being, and fostering connections. Typical race day conditions in July see highs around 95F and lows around 59F, with virtually no chance of rain. Be prepared for potentially fierce sunshine on the unshaded sections of the trail, even in the morning. After you cross the finish line, the community vibe continues with a post-parkrun coffee gathering at The Nugget at the Oak Tree Plaza, offering a perfect opportunity to share stories and connect with new friends. Whether you're aiming for a personal best, completing your first 5K, or simply looking for a fun and active start to your weekend, Mace Ranch parkrun provides an uplifting and supportive environment.
