Watermelon Wobbler 5K

Lace up your trail shoes for the Watermelon Wobbler 5K, a vibrant off-road adventure set to unfold on August 15, 2026, at the picturesque White Barn Farm in Wrentham, MA. This 5K trail run, walk, or hike promises a delightful challenge through scenic Wrentham conservation land and the working farm property, making it a perfect peak-summer event for all ages and skill levels. You'll navigate a course described as "thick and green and maybe a little dusty," featuring a natural mix of dirt and gravel paths, rocks, roots, and enjoyable inclines and declines in elevation. Typical race day conditions in mid-August see highs around 83F and lows around 62F, with a slight 13% chance of precipitation, creating a true summer running experience.

The Watermelon Wobbler is a highlight of the Farm to Trail 5K Series, celebrating local agriculture and land management sustainability. Runners will find a single water station conveniently located at the halfway point; however, this is a cup-less race, so remember to bring your own water carriers to stay hydrated. Beyond the invigorating course, the race offers a festive atmosphere, culminating in a "Peak Summer Celebration" at the finish line, complete with live music, local vendors, delicious food, and games. Early birds might even snag a farm-swag bag brimming with organic treats.

The event kicks off with check-in and day-of registration opening at 8:00 AM at White Barn Farm (431 South Street), followed by an organized pre-race stretch led by BaseCamp FitCo. Due to the race's popularity, satellite parking is available at 513 South Street, just a short walk from the farm, ensuring a smooth start to your summer escapade. Join this beloved community event that supports the vital mission of preserving open land and food security, promising not just a run, but a memorable farm-fresh experience.
