2026 Natick Farm Fun Run

The 2026 Natick Farm Fun Run returns to the historic town of Natick, Massachusetts on Sunday, June 14th at 8:30 AM. This event invites participants to run or walk through the scenic Natick Community Organic Farm and surrounding conservation land. The race offers a 5K for adults and a Kids K for younger runners.
Race morning finds you among lush green fields, winding trails, and vibrant gardens within the farm's property. Runners start at the driveway entrance off Eliot Street near Memorial Elementary School, making their way past the farmhouse, through garden beds, and onto the Forest Gnome Trail. The course then takes a turn onto the Aqueduct Trail before exiting to Memorial School. Participants will enjoy a 3 x 1-mile loop that includes road, gravel, grass, and trail surfaces.
The event has been running for several years now, establishing itself as an annual tradition in Natick's calendar. It supports NCOF’s work through its scholarship fund and Teen Programs, providing financial assistance to students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in extensive educational programs on the farm. Additionally, it offers paid work experience opportunities year-round.
The 5K Adult Run or Walk is suitable for participants aged 11 years and older with a fee of $39.44. The Children’s event also covers approximately 5k but at a cost of only $12.69 per participant (10 and under). Online registration closes on Saturday, June 13th by 5 PM; however, walk-ups are welcome.
Registration takes place between 8-8:15 AM where runners can pick up their bibs. To register online, visit https://raceroster.com/events/2026/125495/2026-natick-farm-fun-run. Parking is available in the teardrop driveway by the tennis courts and behind Memorial Elementary School.

The weather forecast suggests temperatures ranging between 15°C and 25.5°C during race morning; however, conditions can feel warmer due to humidity levels around 73.5%. Expect light winds at 10.2 km/hour and the possibility of slight rainfall with an average of 2.9mm.
