Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun

Lace up for the Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event taking place on November 14, 2026, in scenic Redmond, WA. This free, weekly gathering welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to experience a unique urban trail. The course is a flat, out-and-back route, entirely run on permanent paved paths along the Redmond Central Connector Trail, a former rail line. As you traverse this well-maintained path, you'll weave through both naturalistic and urban settings, encountering public art installations that blend recreation with the city's dynamic character. While generally flat, some sections of the course may hold mud, leaves, or puddles after rain.

What truly sets the Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun apart is its welcoming, volunteer-led atmosphere, fostering a strong sense of community. Participants consistently praise the friendly environment and the opportunity to achieve personal bests on this enjoyable course. The event starts 75 meters west of the junction of 161st Ave NE and Bear Creek Parkway, with public restrooms conveniently located nearby in Redmond Downtown Park.

Typical race day conditions in mid-November bring highs around 53F and lows around 41F, with a 27% chance of precipitation, creating a brisk and potentially refreshing running experience. After your 5K, extend the camaraderie with fellow participants at the traditional post-parkrun coffee gathering, sharing stories and connecting with the local running community.
