The MSOA hosted the Third Annual Clam Crawl beach fun run on Sunday Sept 28th 2025 at Sandy Neck Beach in Barnstable.

The weather was perfect and everybody had a great day.

Thank you for all who ran, walked, crawled and volunteered.

MSOA has established an award program for high school seniors actively pursuing a degree in marine biology and residing in a coastal town or city that sponsors an MSOA representative.   The run will help fund 3 scholarships for high school seniors.

In 2026 we are again partnering with Cape Cod Roller Derby to support their scholarship fund to help young people be active through the sport of roller skating.
