The Schoodic Riverkeepers and partners on both sides of the border began the Alewife Run in 2012 to raise awareness of the importance of healthy alewife migrations in our rivers.  The annual run is an 80-mile relay for runners and walkers who can join all day or for a part of the route.

“We relate to the alewife as a keystone species, the fish that feeds all, and we figured if we bring back the alewives that would help the ecosystem and all the things that live off the alewife” ~ Brian Altvater Sr., a founding member of the Schoodic Riverkeepers and Wabanaki REACH Wellness Coordinator.
