BITS AND BOBS

• We are dog-friendly. No additional fee to run or walk with your leashed dog but please stay towards the back of the pack. Be mindful of other runners and walkers. (Your dog needs swag. Check out our dog bandanas!)
• Our 5k race is now USATF-certified! It's your chance to set a course record. 
• Spectators welcome! Although we have over 42,000 permanent residents, they're pretty quiet. ;-)
• Parking will be your biggest challenge. Plan to allow extra time to park in the surrounding neighborhood or at a downtown garage.

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Did you spell "trail" wrong? No! Our event is named after Dr. Traill Green, founder of Easton Cemetery. The name honors Green, a medical doctor, teacher, botanist, geologist, chemist, professor, humanitarian, and author, and also refers to our greenspace initiatives.

 

What if I don't want the shirt? When registering, there is an option to choose "No Shirt."

 

Do your events have age limitations?
The 5K Run and 2 Mile Walk do not have age limitations, though anyone under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. The Youth Fun run is designed for folks under 10 years of age. All participants under the age of 18 must have parent or guardian permission to register. Parents must complete the waiver on the registration form.

 

Can I get a refund or defer my 2026 registration to 2027? Sorry, we do not offer refunds or deferrals. If you think your ability to race on May 3rd is uncertain, we suggest purchasing the offered insurance when you register, which will entitle you to a refund if you are not able to participate.

 

Will you close registration? We will not close registration once it opens, however we do recommend registering ahead of race day. And take not of the price increases. Get in early to guarantee your shirt (by April 2)!)

 

When is bib pick up? Bib pick-up is Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 at Easton Farmers' Market from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM, and on race day, Sunday, May 3rd beginning at 7:00 AM.   

 

Can I have a friend or relative pick up my bib for me? Yes! One person can pick up multiple bibs for friends and family. Please bring their name and bib number if you have it. 

 

I’m not going to be able to run or walk the race. Can I give my bib to someone else? No. Bibs are assigned to specific racers who are entered in specific gender classes and age groups. Giving your bib to another racer can cause major problems in scoring, depriving deserving racers from winning awards or meeting place goals. Please do not give your bib to another racer. 

 

I am registered as a Green Traill 5K Run participant but I’d prefer to do the Walk. Can I switch my registration? Yes! When you pick up your bib, ask to switch races and you will be directed to a race official who can switch events for you. Or, email us beforehand: friends@thehistoriceastoncemetery.org. 

 

Will there be bathrooms along the route? Yes, there is an area not far from the Start/Finish line for portapotties. 

 

What is the surface of the Green Traill event? This is a road race, on some smooth, some not so smooth roads. Expect loose gravel, potholes, sticks, leaves and rough surfaces. And yes, there are hills! It's not great for wheelchairs or strollers. The roads are not smooth (potholes, gravel, steep hills).

 

Can I bring my dog to run/walk with me during the race? What about a stroller? Yes! Only if the dog is leashed and you are mindful of other runners and walkers along the course. For strollers, note that the roads are not smooth. Imagine it's like an off-road adventure, but on the road. 

 

Will there be food available at the finish line? Vegan or GF options? Kids snacks? Yes! We'll have post race treats for all.  

 

Is there parking nearby? It'll be the toughest part of the day. There is no parking inside the Easton Cemetery on race day. Arrive early get a free parking spot in the neighborhood, or head downtown and park in one of the City's garages or at a meter. There is a steep hill to get to the entrance to the cemetery. Allow extra time for parking. 

 

Is the event rain or shine? YES! It's a good time either way. In the event of severe weather, we will cancel the race or delay the start. All information will be updated on RunSignUp, on the Easton Cemetery website and we will notify registered participants by email.
