WELCOME TO THE RACE TO THE ROW

The Somerville Road Runners are proud to present our newest event, the first annual Race to the Row 5K in Assembly Square in our hometown of Somerville, MA. It's both a run and a walk and is open to runners and families of all ages and abilities. There will be a Kid's Fun Run (age 9 and under) while the race is going on with all kids getting a medal (no pre-registration necessary for this).

The Race to the Row will run through the Assembly Square District and along the Mystic River, ending with a fun-filled BBQ with burgers and hot dogs from Burger Dive and live music! All proceeds will benefit the East Somerville Main Streets (ESMS) program – funding East Somerville business visibility and bolstering the community at large.

Registrants who sign up by August 1 will receive a race t-shirt, and all registrants get their BBQ meal included! But all runners, walkers and members of the cheering crowds can participate in the post-race festivities. There will be an awards ceremony following the race for top finishers in Mens and Womens divisions.

SRR has gladly partnered with Assembly Row to bring you this race, along with our other current sponsors, Sports Authority and East Somerville Main Streets.
