Surfside Hotel The Blues Are Running 5 K

                          The SURFSIDE HOTEL and WICC invite you to the kickoff event for the                                              "Greatest Bluefish Tournament on Earth"      The BLUES ARE RUNNING 5K - our inagural event is hosted by the Surfside Hotel & Little Pub in the Lordship section of Stratford. Our venue overlooks Long Island Sound as does most of the course! We are not sure if there will be a BLUE Moon- but this evening run/walk will be a great one.   For decades people have been "Singing the blues..." but that won't happen here! It will be a great Tuesday night of fun, food & froth, followed by a scenic sunset.

 

Run or walk our beautiful 5k (3.11mi) course overlooking Long Island Sound where the actual "Greatest Bluefish Tournament On Earth" will be taking place on Saturday, August 24 & Sunday, August 25. https://www.bluefishtournament.com/
