From the Organizer
Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for the Annual Shrewsbury Trails 5K amongst the trees, fields, and bog bridges of Lake Street Park.
The mission of Shrewsbury Trails Committee is to Preserve, Promote, and Protect Shrewsbury’s open spaces in partnership with Town Planning, Parks & Recreation, and Engineering Departments.
Participants will have the opportunity to run or walk on a variety of surfaces and trail conditions, from wide cart paths on the meadow loop to challenging single-track trails along Meadow Brook. You’ll pop in and out of heavily forested sections and run past visible beaver activity that are shaping our environment.
Lake Street Park offers ample parking, a large field for gathering and watching the racers. In addition to the 5k trail race and walk, there will also be a Kid Run (age 12 and under) on the lacrosse field.
