Western Greenway 5K Trail Run/Walk and Kids’ Monster Dash

Celebrate Halloween with a spooktacular day on the trails! The Waltham Land Trust invites you to celebrate Halloween in the best way possible — moving through nature, in costume (if it’s safe to run in), and helping protect Waltham’s beautiful open spaces by participating in our annual Western Greenway 5K Trail Run/Walk.

The course goes through a variety of habitats in Beaver Brook North Reservation, which will most likely have gorgeous foliage to enjoy along the way! Participants will also travel by historic sites like the MetFern Cemetery.

Before the main race kicks off, kids ages 10 and under can join our 50-yard Monster Dash at 11:30 am — a fun sprint where every child gets a small treat for participating. Free for children who attend with an adult running the 5K, $5 suggested donation otherwise. Perfect for little ghosts and goblins who want in on the action.

The 5K starts at noon. We’ll have tons of prizes for top finishers in various age groups, plus extras to give to lucky bib numbers the week after the race, so everyone who registers has a chance to win! Learn more and sign up here: walthamlandtrust.org/western-greenway-5k

Free t-shirts for the first 100 registrants. Don’t forget to join us at our lead sponsor Mighty Squirrel’s Waltham Taproom for a complimentary post-race beverage.
