Birthday Run - Mendon

The Birthday Run takes place on March 20, 2027, at Mendon Ponds Park, starting from Hopkins Point Lodge. The event is a morning celebration of the local trail system, friendships, and the past year while looking ahead to the year to come.

There are two group options for participants:

5 km - hike option
10 km - run option

The activity is free and is explicitly not a race; it is organized as a group run to mark the organization's birthday. Participants may bring a snack or drink. Cake will be available and the organizers note there may be other surprises along the route. Two groups will be offered so people can choose the 5 km hike or the 10 km run option. Volunteer opportunities are available for those who wish to help with the event.

Additional logistical details and any policies referenced by the organizers are provided by the event host. The description above reflects the event format, location, date, distances, and on-site provisions mentioned by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
