Old Town House Park parkrun

Lace up your shoes for the Old Town House Park parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event taking place on October 17, 2026, in scenic South Yarmouth, MA. This free, weekly gathering welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to experience a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. The 5K course is primarily flat, winding along a 10-foot wide walking and bicycle path with no intersecting streets for a smooth run. While largely level, runners will encounter a slight incline over a bridge and a gentle hill over an overpass around the half-mile and 2.5-mile marks, adding a touch of challenge to this enjoyable out-and-back route.

Participants will appreciate the diverse scenery, which includes glimpses of railroad cars, urban elements, natural landscapes, and even a collection of painted "kindness rocks". While the course is run entirely on permanent paths, be mindful that sections may have mud, leaves, or puddles after rain. Typical race day conditions in mid-October often bring pleasant highs around 63F and lows around 46F, with a low 15% chance of precipitation, offering comfortable running weather. After crossing the finish line, conveniently located near the main parking lot off Old Town House Road, extend the camaraderie by joining fellow participants for a post-parkrun coffee at a local Dunkin Donuts.

Old Town House Park parkrun prides itself on being a volunteer-led event that fosters a strong sense of community, with many runners praising the warm welcome and encouraging spirit. Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a leisurely walk, or volunteering your time, this popular parkrun destination offers a rewarding start to your Saturday.
