Pine Park parkrun

Lace up your shoes for the Pine Park parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event taking place on March 28, 2026, in scenic Hanover, NH. This free, weekly gathering welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to experience a beautiful course through Pine Park, Hanover's oldest preserved natural area.

The 5000m out-and-back course offers a delightful mix of trail and gravel paths. Runners will begin with a short downhill, then enjoy breathtaking views along the Connecticut River before veering along Girl Brook and crossing a charming scenic bridge. The route finishes with a short uphill section, and while mostly flat and easy, runners should be prepared for potential mud, leaves, and puddles, especially after rain. Typical race day conditions for late March in Hanover present highs around 48°F and lows around 25°F, with a 12% chance of precipitation.

Pine Park parkrun stands out as a volunteer-organized event that fosters a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, encouraging enjoyment of the outdoors and physical activity. The start and finish are conveniently located next to the parking lot at 7 Hilton Field Rd, Hanover, NH 03755. After crossing the finish line, participants can extend the camaraderie with a post-run coffee at The Works Café, a beloved local tradition.
