The 2nd annual Redfish Run starts and finishes at the corner of Cornwall and Austin Streets overlooking beautiful Rockport Harbor. The race course travels through Rockport's quaint downtown Heritage District and winds onto Water Street with unobstructed views of Aransas Bay. Participants will enjoy spectacular bay views with the possibility of bird and dolphin sighting. Make plans to come join us for a day of fun celebrating Earth Day the Rockport Way!
