Lace up your shoes for the Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun on March 21, 2026, a fantastic 5K event held in scenic Williamsport, PA. This free, volunteer-led community gathering offers a welcoming experience for runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities along the picturesque Susquehanna Riverwalk. Participants will enjoy an accurately measured 5000m out-and-back course entirely on paved paths, offering beautiful views alongside the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. While generally flat, some sections may present slight inclines, adding a gentle challenge to the otherwise smooth journey.

The Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun, which first launched in October 2021, has quickly become a cherished weekly tradition, known for its friendly atmosphere and commitment to community health and fitness. The start and finish lines are conveniently located just east of the dam, near main parking areas. Typical race day conditions in late March bring highs around 52°F and lows around 31°F, with only an 11% chance of precipitation, making for invigorating spring running weather. While parkruns are self-supported events without formal aid stations, the dedicated volunteer team ensures safety with first-aid kits and emergency protocols in place.

What truly sets this parkrun apart is its vibrant community spirit, attracting visitors from across the globe and fostering a strong local following. After completing the 5K, participants are invited to join fellow parkrunners for a post-event coffee at Wegmans Café, continuing the camaraderie off the course. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply want to enjoy a beautiful riverside stroll, the Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun promises a refreshing and inclusive start to your Saturday.
