Wreaths Across America 1st Annual 5K Trail Run/Walk at Jacobsburg State Park

Lace up your trail shoes for a truly meaningful experience at the Wreaths Across America 1st Annual 5K Trail Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the picturesque Jacobsburg State Park in Nazareth, PA. This inaugural 5K event invites runners and walkers alike to navigate the beautiful, varied terrain of Jacobsburg State Park, a setting known for its lush secondary forests and old-growth woods along the Bushkill Creek. The course promises a dynamic trail experience, featuring a mix of packed dirt paths, some tight and winding singletrack sections, and areas with roots and rocks to keep things engaging for participants of all skill levels.

As you enjoy the scenic beauty, you'll be running with a purpose. This unique event is dedicated to honoring our nation's heroes, with all proceeds going directly to sponsoring wreaths that will be laid on the graves of veterans at Holy Family Cemetery in Nazareth, PA. Participants can expect well-supported race day amenities, including a water station at the start/finish line and another at the midway point to keep you hydrated. Indoor bathrooms will be conveniently located near the start/finish area, situated close to the park's Environmental Center.

Typical race day conditions in early May often bring pleasant weather, with highs around 70°F and lows around 47°F, alongside a low 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal trail running conditions. Beyond the invigorating physical challenge, runners can look forward to light refreshments, including fruit and snacks, at the finish line. Don't forget to showcase your patriotic spirit, as prizes will be awarded not only to the fastest finishers but also for the most patriotic and most "holiday spirit" costumes, adding a festive touch to this commemorative event.
