Lace up for a refreshing winter challenge at the Winter Fun Run Series in Abington, MA, on February 1, 2026. This beloved community event, organized by the Colonial Road Runners, offers runners a chance to stay active and connect throughout the colder months. Choose your distance with either a 2-mile single loop or a 4-mile double loop option, welcoming athletes of all abilities to partake in the camaraderie and spirited atmosphere.

The Abington course features major portions running through a local cemetery, offering unique scenery along a fairly flat route with no streets or intersections to cross and sidewalks along most of the way. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 39°F and lows near 20°F, along with a 15% chance of precipitation, so dress in layers! This series stands out for its accessible nature: registration is just a $2.00 weekly donation, and a single bib can be used for all Winter Fun Runs across locations.

Starting at the Mt. Vernon Cemetery entrance with the finish line positioned on the left side of the Abington Police Station (215 Central St), these fun runs are timed, with results posted online for friendly competition. More than just a race, the Winter Fun Run Series embodies the supportive spirit of the Colonial Road Runners, providing a welcoming, non-competitive environment where runners of all paces are encouraged and celebrated. Join fellow enthusiasts for a refreshing start to your Sunday at 12:00 Noon and experience the warmth of the running community.
