Lace up your shoes for the Ryan Bonaminio parkrun, a vibrant 5K community event held every Saturday morning at Ryan Bonaminio Park in Riverside, CA, including on February 21, 2026. This free, volunteer-led event welcomes walkers, joggers, and runners of all ages and fitness levels to enjoy a timed, yet non-competitive, 3.1-mile experience. You'll navigate a picturesque course featuring a mix of tarmac paths, trail sections, and grass, with an easy, mostly flat elevation profile that makes it accessible for everyone. The route begins near the western edge of the parking lot, offering a double out-and-back journey through a beautiful and clean park at the foot of Mt. Rubidoux.

Participants consistently praise the wide-open spaces and well-maintained walking trails that define this scenic park. While parkruns are not traditional races, a dedicated "Tail Walker" ensures no one ever finishes last, fostering a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant weather, with highs around 70F and lows around 44F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running conditions. After you cross the finish line, join fellow parkrunners for a post-event coffee or food truck gathering, a beloved tradition that enhances the strong sense of community.

Ryan Bonaminio parkrun is more than just a run; it's a weekly opportunity to connect with your community, enjoy the outdoors, and track your progress in a friendly environment. Be sure to register once online to receive your scannable barcode and join this welcoming group for a refreshing start to your Saturday.
