Lace up your shoes for a refreshing winter challenge at the Winter Fun Run Series in Abington, MA, on January 27, 2026. This popular event, part of the Colonial Road Runners' weekly series, offers runners the choice of a 4-mile double loop or a 2-mile single loop through the scenic locale of Abington. The course is notably flat and largely takes runners through a local cemetery, providing a unique and tranquil running environment with no streets to cross and sidewalks along most of the route.

Runners of all abilities are welcomed to this community-focused event, known for its friendly atmosphere and volunteer-timed results posted online. The start line is conveniently located at the Mt. Vernon Cemetery entrance, with the finish on the left side of the Abington Police Station. Registration is a simple process, opening 30 minutes before the noon race start, and requires only a $2.00 donation, with your bib valid for the entire series.

As typical race day conditions often see highs around 39F and lows near 20F, with a 14% chance of precipitation, be prepared for crisp winter running. While formal aid stations are not typically a feature of these shorter, informal fun runs, the close-knit community vibe and manageable distances make it an ideal opportunity for a timed run to kickstart your fitness goals in the new year.
