Lace up your shoes for the Perrigo parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event held every Saturday morning at Perrigo Community Park in Redmond, WA. On August 1, 2026, runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around a comfortable 79F and lows near 58F, accompanied by a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. This free, timed 5K welcomes participants of all abilities, whether you're aiming for a new personal best or simply enjoying a leisurely walk, jog, or run through the scenic park.

The Perrigo parkrun course spans 5000m entirely on tarmac paths, offering a relatively flat and easy-to-navigate route that's perfect for chasing personal bests. Runners will enjoy picturesque, tree-lined sections along the quiet, paved Evans Creek Trail, providing a refreshing escape from city roads. While generally flat, a small uphill finish adds a gentle challenge. The event kicks off at the bollard next to the iconic red barn within Perrigo Community Park, which also provides convenient restrooms and drinking water fountains near the start/finish area for hydration.

More than just a run, Perrigo parkrun, launched in June 2019, fosters a wonderfully supportive and friendly atmosphere, attracting both local and international participants. Organized entirely by dedicated volunteers, this event embodies community spirit, with many runners gathering for a post-parkrun coffee at Cypress Coffee Company to share stories and camaraderie. Ample parking is available, and public transport options make accessing this inclusive 5K a breeze.
