Western Greenway 5K to benefit Waltham Land Trust

Celebrate Halloween with a spooktacular day on the trails! The Waltham Land Trust invites you to celebrate 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.

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.

Since 2013, our Western Greenway 5K has brought together people of all ages to enjoy 3.1 miles of gorgeous fall scenery. The course winds through Beaver Brook North Reservation and Rock Meadow, with stunning views of cattail marshes, forests, vernal pools, and open meadows.

Before the main race kicks off, kids ages 10 and under can join our 50-yard Monster Dash at 11:30 a.m. — a quick, 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.
