The herring are now running. You can join them, either next to the river or in it.

Sunday, May 17, 2015 - Run, Walk, or Paddle for the Fish!

The annual Herring Run and Paddle includes a 5K run/walk race, three paddling races (3, 9, and 12 miles), educational booths, children's activities, and more. All events are held at the DCR Blessing of the Bay Boathouse in Somerville. The 5K course continues along the Mystic River bike path and through DCR Torbert MacDonald Park. There are no street crossings on this flat course. 

New this year: chip start and finish for the 5K road race!
