Lace up your shoes for the Shaw Cherry Hill Parkrun Gorham, a vibrant 5K community event taking place on August 29, 2026, in scenic Gorham, ME. This free, volunteer-led weekly gathering welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to explore the beautiful Shaw Cherry Hill Farm. Expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 77°F and lows near 58°F, accompanied by only a 10% chance of precipitation.

The accurately measured 5K course navigates a picturesque out-and-back route through Shaw Cherry Hill Farm, beginning at the trailhead entrance. Runners will experience a varied terrain of gravel and trail paths, winding through the Burleigh Loveitt, Cherry Hill, and Mosher Brook Trails. The course is mostly flat on the front half, featuring some gentle rolling hills and a scenic wide bridge crossing along the Mosher Brook Trail. Enjoy the ever-changing scenery that transitions from cozy wooded sections to expansive fields, where you might even spot red Angus cows. Unique chainsaw carvings of bears and other animals, as well as comfortable benches made from felled trees, add character to your journey. As a community event utilizing shared paths, participants are encouraged to be mindful and yield to other park users.

Shaw Cherry Hill Parkrun Gorham is more than just a race; it's a celebrated opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and connect with fellow enthusiasts. Known for its friendly and inclusive atmosphere, the event fosters community spirit, often culminating in a post-run coffee gathering at Sullivan House. While you'll find plenty of free parking and portable toilets on-site, typical parkrun events focus on community participation rather than extensive aid stations, so plan accordingly for your 5K adventure.
