Matt Fishman 5K
The Matt Fishman 5K is a fundraising run and walk scheduled for Sunday, October 25, 2026, at the DCR Herter Park in Boston. The event is organized by Alpha Kappa Sigma and produced by RACE Cancer Foundation to honor the legacy of Matt Fishman, a 2021 Northeastern University graduate and musician.
The course follows a flat, scenic route along the Charles River and measures 3.11 miles (a 5K). The event supports the Matt Fishman Scholarship, which funds high school students pursuing music as performers or composers who have been affected by cancer or other medical hardships, either personally or through a family member.
Location details note Herter Park / Artesani Playground at 1275 Soldiers Field Road. There is a large parking area (lot #4) adjacent to the start and finish. Public transit access includes Harvard Square Station at approximately a one mile walk and bus routes 70, 70A, and 86 with a short walk from Western Avenue and Everett Street.
Event materials mention a commemorative t-shirt for the first 100 entrants and an awards presentation after the run. The description above focuses on the course, purpose, and basic logistics without registration instructions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
