Discover a welcoming and scenic 5K experience at the Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun in Williamsport, PA, held on Saturday, February 7, 2026. This free, weekly, timed event invites runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to enjoy a beautiful out-and-back course along the paved Susquehanna Riverwalk. Participants will follow a flat, permanent path alongside the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, offering picturesque views of the water, surrounding mountains, and even a historic spillway waterfall. The course, part of the larger Susquehanna River Walk and Timber Trail, also features interpretive signage and lumber-themed public art, including a sculpture called "The Wood Hick," celebrating the region's rich history.

Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun is renowned for its friendly, community-focused atmosphere, a hallmark of the global parkrun movement it belongs to. Organized entirely by dedicated volunteers, this event launched in October 2021 and quickly became a local favorite, attracting visitors from across the globe. While typical race day conditions in early February may bring highs around 37F and lows near 20F with a 12% chance of precipitation, the engaging riverside scenery and the warmth of the community create a truly memorable experience.

The start and finish lines are conveniently located just east of the dam, near the main parking lots and close to Wegmans in downtown Williamsport. After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to join fellow parkrunners for a post-event coffee at Wegmans Café, fostering a sense of camaraderie that extends beyond the course itself. Remember to register once online and bring your scannable barcode to ensure your timed result.
