Prepare for a fantastic 5K experience at the Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun on April 25, 2026, in vibrant Redmond, WA. This popular weekly event invites runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to enjoy a free, fun, and community-focused outing. The course itself is a welcoming two-out-and-back route along the paved Redmond Central Connector Trail. While generally flat and fast, ideal for setting a personal best, some sections may have accumulated mud, leaves, or puddles after rain. Marshals will guide you along the way, ensuring a smooth journey through this urban artery that connects Redmond Town Center, historic Downtown, and various neighborhoods, offering a pleasant mix of urban and greenbelt scenery.

Participants consistently praise the supportive atmosphere and the dedication of the volunteer team, making it an encouraging environment for first-timers and seasoned parkrunners alike. Reviews often highlight the enjoyable conditions and the collective spirit that makes this event special. Typical race day conditions in late April offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 61°F and lows around 44°F, accompanied by only a 12% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable setting for your 5K effort.

The start and finish are conveniently located just 75 meters west of the junction of 161st Ave NE and Bear Creek Parkway, easily accessible by public transport via the Redmond Transit Centre or the East Link Extension light rail, with parking options nearby. After crossing the finish line, join fellow participants for a cherished parkrun tradition: a post-run coffee at SoulFood CoffeeHouse, fostering camaraderie and making new connections within the running community. The Redmond Central Connector Trail parkrun is more than just a race; it's a weekly celebration of activity and community spirit.
