Western Greenway 5K Run/Walk 2024

Western Greenway 5K Trail Run/Walk: October 27, 2024 at 12:00pm

Since 2013, the Waltham Land Trust has held the Western Greenway 5K walk and run benefit event where people of all ages traverse a 5K distance through the Western Greenway.

The 5K (3.1 mile) course goes through and around a variety of habitats in Beaver Brook North Reservation and Rock Meadow, including cattail marshes, forests, vernal pools, and open meadows. All participants are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes if it’s safe to do so!

We've been collecting gift cards for prizes and have them so far from 99 Restaurant & Pub, Amuleto, DaVinci, the Gore Place, Heidi's Restaurant, In a Pickle, Jake n Joe's, Joco's Bar & Kitchen, John Brewer's Tavern, Lizzy's, Not Your Average Joe's, Paddle Boston, Penang Malaysian Cuisine, Pepino's Dosa, Pho & Spice, Shopper's Café, Stazione de Federal, Sweet Basil, Target, The Chateau, The Federal, The Outer Limits, Total Wine, Vinotta, Wagon Wheel Farm Stand, and the Waltham Land Trust. We’ll have extras, so everyone who registers will have a chance to win something!

The 2024 Western Greenway 5K is Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 12:00pm (noon). 

Advanced bib pickup will be on October 26, 11 am to 1 pm, at Mighty Squirrel located at 411 Waverley Oaks Road. T-shirts for the first 100 runners to register!

You can also pickup your bib on race day at the registration tent near the McLaughlin Building on Metropolitan Parkway North. Please arrive early if you intend to pick up your bib the day of the race. 

Online registration closes at midnight the Thursday before the race (10/24/24). Additional registrations are always welcome, but there is an additional $5 fee to register at bib pickup, or the morning of the race. Because WLT relies on the proceeds from the race to fund its work and we expend certain costs, race registrations are not refundable.

To get your Waltham Land Trust member discount, your membership must be up to date and you must log in to your account when you go to register for the event. If you forgot your login name or your password, go to iforgot.walthamlandtrust.org.

Thank you for being part of the Western Greenway 5k and supporting the Waltham Land Trust!
