This free 5K run occurs every Saturday morning at 9:00 AM. All ages are welcome. While many serious runners join us, Parkrun is not a race-- it is a fun run or walk for good health or to track your times. There is an optional social afterwards.
Kids and strollers are welcome. Dogs too! (one dog per runner). Participants tend to span all age groups and levels of fitness.
Our group of dedicated runners let almost nothing stop them, so we're out if it's sunny and beautiful, or if it's snowy and cold. Rarely, weather conditions or global pandemics do force us to re-route or cancel. Check out our Facebook page for last minute updates.
If you'd like to keep track of your time, and have it mailed to you after the race, register here
Volunteer herb gardeners meet every third Saturday from March through November at the Celeste Winans Chapel herb garden. All are welcome. Gardening experience is a plus but not necessary, as newcomers will be trained. No registration required.
Join Baltimore Tree Trust, the Carrie Murray Nature center, and FOGFLP for this late summer event!
We will meet at the CMNC and undertake a short hike (about 1 mile) along the trails to check out some notable trees around the Nature Center. We will also visit the popular Osage and Magnolia groves, and experience the wonder of the Mother Tree.
This hike is good for kids and adults who want to expand their knowledge of trees of the Piedmont, and also enjoy the more unusual trees that the Winans family cultivated on their estate.
Bring a water bottle, and dress for the weather. The nature center has bathrooms and a place to fill your water bottle.
Please reserve a spot on Civic Rec.
It's all free, so come out and enjoy the fun!
Where is the park?
