Lace up your shoes for the Renton parkrun, a free, fun, and friendly weekly 5K event inviting runners, joggers, and walkers of all paces to the scenic Cedar River Trail. On Saturday, June 6, 2026, join the vibrant community gathering in Renton, WA, for a timed 5K amidst picturesque Pacific Northwest greenery. This out-and-back course guides participants along permanent paved paths hugging the Cedar River, offering a refreshing and largely flat experience.

The Renton parkrun course is renowned for its beautiful, tree-lined sections that evoke the feeling of a rainforest, providing a serene backdrop for your effort. While generally flat, the route isn't entirely without subtle undulations, and runners will navigate one grated metal bridge. Typical race day conditions in early June boast comfortable highs around 70°F and lows near 53°F, with a minimal 7% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. The event is celebrated for its incredibly supportive atmosphere, where volunteers offer encouragement and fellow participants provide high-fives. It's a welcoming space for everyone, from first-timers to seasoned athletes, and is known to be both kid-friendly and dog-friendly (on leash).

As a cornerstone of the global parkrun movement, Renton parkrun thrives on its volunteer spirit and commitment to community well-being. The start and finish are conveniently located just off the path near the I-405 overpass, with parking available nearby. After crossing the finish line, the camaraderie continues with a cherished tradition: a post-parkrun coffee gathering at Common Ground Coffee & Cupcakes in downtown Renton, where stories and smiles are shared. It's more than just a run; it's a weekly celebration of movement and community.
