Lace up for a refreshing 5K experience at the Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun on April 11, 2026, in scenic Williamsport, PA. This free, community-driven event offers a welcoming atmosphere for runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities, embodying the global parkrun spirit of accessible fitness every Saturday. The course unfolds as an out-and-back route along the paved Susquehanna Riverwalk, tracing the picturesque West Branch of the Susquehanna River. Runners will enjoy a relatively flat journey with a total elevation change of just 37 feet, making it ideal for setting a personal best or simply enjoying a leisurely morning stride.

The Susquehanna Riverwalk itself is a local treasure, providing stunning views of the river, surrounding mountains, and a historic spillway waterfall. As you traverse sections of the "Timber Trail" between the Market Street and Maynard Street bridges, you'll discover interpretive signage and public art celebrating the region's rich lumber heritage. The start and finish lines are conveniently located just east of the dam, near main parking areas and the readily available restrooms at Wegmans. Typical race day conditions in mid-April feature comfortable highs around 61°F and lows near 38°F, with only a 14% chance of precipitation, promising pleasant running weather.

Beyond the beautiful course, the Susquehanna Riverwalk parkrun is celebrated for its friendly and inclusive atmosphere, attracting both local participants and visitors from across the globe. While traditional aid stations are not typically provided for this volunteer-organized event, the strong sense of community thrives, culminating in a cherished post-parkrun coffee gathering at Wegmans Café, where participants can connect and share their experiences. This is more than just a timed 5K; it's a weekly celebration of health, community, and the beauty of Williamsport's riverfront.
