Lace up your running shoes for the Music in Plymouth 5K, a vibrant 5K run/walk set to take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in scenic Plymouth, MN. This certified 5K event welcomes racers, walkers, and families alike to traverse the beautiful Northwest Greenway, with the start and finish lines conveniently located at the Northwest Greenway Pavilion at 5250 Peony Lane N. Participants can look forward to a refreshing experience as the course winds through natural surroundings. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 81F and lows near 62F, with only a 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

More than just a race, the Music in Plymouth 5K serves as a vital fundraiser, with all proceeds supporting the annual Music in Plymouth festival—the city's signature summer event. This well-established festival has been a community highlight for over five decades, promising a lively atmosphere that extends to the 5K itself. While specific on-course aid station details beyond "refreshments" are not readily available, participants can expect a well-organized event that culminates in a rewarding finish. Medals are awarded to the top male and female finishers in each age category, and strollers are welcome, though children must run independently to be eligible for awards.

Embrace the community spirit and kick off a weekend of celebration by joining the Music in Plymouth 5K. Registration and packet pickup typically begin at 7:00 a.m. on race day at the Northwest Greenway Pavilion, with the race starting at 8:00 a.m. This event offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, challenge yourself with a 5K, and contribute to a beloved local tradition that brings music and fireworks to Plymouth each summer.
