That's a nice area to run, in fact most of the BAA Half Marathon course is along the Emerald Necklace. It's essentially a system of connected urban parks and green spaces so it's pretty popular for runners. That said, it's still in the city and could potentially get a little sketchy after dark, especially down towards the Forest Hills/Franklin Park area. Personally I'd stay in the Jamaica Pond/Olmstead/Riverway area. Not sure how long you're looking to go but you could also head north from there through the Fenway area and run along the Charles River. Also a very popular running route. Have fun!

Thank you!

Nothing amazing in terms of distance. I'll have three days to run, and was planning 10 - 12k for each.

So a loop around Jamaica pond, Olmsread park and Riverway 1 (All looking a Google maps, as I've no idea...) should be fine.

You recommend going north through Fenway Park and down the river?

I guess early evening there will lots of other runners?

Thanks again

As previous poster said, run up toward Fenway and then connect on to the Esplanade. It's a run/bike path that follows the Charles River. It's beautiful, quite popular with runners and well trafficked/well lit on the morning and evenings. Enjoy - it's beautiful this time of year!

Thats a ok run, the trails in there I used to run at dark (this is back in 2007-2009) but prob would not now.... River in Boston still remains the best place to run. Best way to see all of Boston to, run to the Charles pick up the path. On one side you will get to see all of Cambridge and loop back either at museum of science or Harvard walking bridge then see Boston from the other side. This is litterly my favorite thing about Boston (seafood a close second since we have nothing like it in Texas)
