Will be in Boston tomorrow for one day. Can anyone recommend a good running course for me. Would like to do about 10 miles give or take a couple of miles on either side. I will be staying I think in downtown area.
the only place to run is along the charles river.
Many of the downtown hotels will give you a copy (playing card size, laminated) of the Runners World reccomended course, which basically goes up one side of the river and down the other. Not a bad run. There is (as I remember) a 3 mile and a 6 mile loop as well. The MIT side of the river has a few spots where the pathway isn’t so great, but all in all, a pretty good run. If you can’t get the map, just ask the hotel how to get to the river and you’ll be all set, just get on the trail and run. If you’re not sure where to turn around, there are tons of runners out there to ask, and most are pretty friendly.
Have fun!
