Lace up for a vibrant start to your spring at the Trillium Spring 5K, set to take place on Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Canton, MA. This popular annual event, hosted at the Trillium Brewery, invites runners to experience a 5K road race with a unique blend of challenge and community celebration. With typical race day conditions seeing comfortable highs around 72°F and lows around 49°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, it promises ideal running weather for all participants.

The Trillium Spring 5K course offers a scenic out-and-back journey through Canton on paved roads. Runners can expect an engaging layout that begins with an uphill first mile, providing an early test of endurance. The second mile levels out, offering a chance to find your rhythm before a rewarding fast finish that carries you straight back to the brewery. A water station will be available along the course to keep you hydrated. This event is more than just a race; it's a significant fundraiser, proudly partnering with Tedy's Team to raise awareness for stroke and heart disease, and in past years, supporting Family Reach. Over 500 in-person runners typically join, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere.

What truly sets the Trillium Spring 5K apart is the lively post-race experience. After crossing the finish line at Trillium Brewery (100 Royall St, Canton, MA 02021), participants are invited to a celebratory party, where adult runners receive a complimentary beer. The event also includes a Kids Fun Run for younger enthusiasts, making it a fantastic outing for the whole family. Runners consistently appreciate the well-organized packet pickup, the quality Trillium-branded running hat and other swag, and the overall celebratory atmosphere that wraps up a great race for a great cause.
