Waltham Trail Runners

We'll run routes along the Charles River Greenway, Riverwalk, Newton and neighborhoods of Waltham, with options to extend for those who are looking to add distance (or end early!) Afterward we'll hop into the bar for post-run drinks.

We meet near Shoppers Cafe at the corner of Moody and Orange and leave at 7:00p. There should be plenty of parking on the street and in the neighborhood. All levels are welcome, with a broad range of paces!

Runs are typically 3-5 miles.

Post-Run we will adjourn to Shoppers. Availability of outdoor dining is weather dependent.

See you there!

Welcome to the Waltham Trail Runners beginner run. This run is for all experiences and pace levels. You have the option to run between 2 - 4 miles or even farther.

We meet at the corner of Moody and Main St, on the Waltham Common. From there we will run the Charles river path, either towards Watertown or Newton. After you go the desired distance, double back along the river. Since it's an out and back we can spread out at different paces to accommodate beginner to advanced runners, but still start and finish together. Afterwards, we get coffee/goodies at Cafe on the Common and enjoy them on the Common.

This is a great way to get into running, introduce your friends to the group, or just start your Saturday on a high note. All ages and levels welcome.

If you are hesitating to come, keep in mind that nearly every week we have beginning runners who use a run/walk technique. If you take walk breaks you will probably not be alone, and it's the best way to get into running, so come on out!

NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with the area and need a place to park, there is a parking garage across Common street from the coffee shop (labeled as Central Square Parking Deck in Google Maps)

We will be running on the trails of the Lincoln Conservation Land, through woods, fields and farmlands. 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 mile distance options are available. All running levels are welcome.
