The Mission Hill Road Race, one of the neighborhood’s most popular annual events, will be held Oct. 18, starting at Kevin W. Fitzgerald Park on St. Alphonsus Street.

The 5K footrace fills local streets with runners and walkers. The race raises funds for the park, which is named after the late local state representative and Mission Hill native.
