The Race to the Row 5K is hosted by the Somerville Road Runners in Somerville, Massachusetts and this is one race you will not want to miss!

This race takes place on Sunday, August 25th and features a series of fun events through Assembly Square and along the Mystic River. There is a Fast Mile, a 5K and a FREE Kids Fun Run! The 5K is open to runners, walkers, teams and families of all ages and abilities, ending with a fun-filled post-race party with food, drinks and beer served from the local restaurants and businesses!

All proceeds from the Race to the Row will benefit East Somerville Main Streets as well as Somerville TrackPAC.

The course is a USATF-certified 5K that winds through and around Assembly Square in Somerville. It’s a semi-double-loop that starts and finishes by the intersection of Grand Union Blvd and Artisan Way. The route is flat and fast and all on roads making it a great course to try and PR on!

After coming through the finish of the 5K, runners will be guided back to the post-race party. Bananas aplenty will be available thanks to Boston Organics and post-race meal will be provided by Ernesto’s Pizza. Quench your thirst with beer from Harpoon (21+ only). Other beverages will be provided, as well, and dessert comes from another local favorite and one of the race’s big sponsors, JP Licks, who is providing multiple flavors of ice cream to choose from.
