The Ras na hEireann USA 5Km+ has to be rescheduled per direction of the City of Somerville and the city's response to the Coronavirus crisis.
The City of Somerville is not allowing any public assembly larger than 30 people until April 30, 2020.
Our plan is to reschedule to Sunday, June 21, 2020 at 11am once "hopefully" things have quieted down and a new permit is approved by the City of Somerville. We will be working with the city on this shortly.
In addition, we will be offering all a free entry into the 2020 Bill Rodgers "Somerville Jingle Bell Run" on December 20, 2020 - please stay safe.
