Run with the Alewives

About the event

When alewives migrate up the fish ladder to spawn in the freshwater lake, it is called a "run".  So what better way to celebrate the running alewives than with a 5K run for humans?  

On the morning of Saturday May 23rd 2026 at 9:00AM please join us for a healthy community run that includes cash prizes, professional timing and a gorgeous course along the Great Salt Bay!
