24 years of running and 24 years of improvements to the Mystic River watershed! Let’s keep the streak going! We’re calling on all walkers, runners, rollers, paddlers, and cheerleaders to get involved this fall.

The pandemic has shown the high quality parks and paths as well as a healthy environment are needed now more than ever. Join the 24th running of the Herring Run & Paddle to demonstrate your support and get out to some great new routes along the Mystic. Don’t want to use your phone? See the maps and walking directions here.

Registration is just $10 for this virtual event. Want to help out even more--donate/fundraise $100 + and you will get a Mystic River t-shirt.

Race details and registration can be found here. Check out this video description to hear our race director explain the new design. Need accommodations, including disability related route changes? We're happy to help. Contact erica.wood@mysticriver.org / 781-316-3438.

Note: Exciting renovations are happening now at Blessing of the Bay park in Somerville. Please use caution and your best judgment when starting and ending at this location. Also note there is no dock access, but you can still access the boat ramp at this location.
