What to do and see in Boston, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Running Tours

July 30, 2021 Joeann Galban

Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

Run through Boston

I'm a 11-time marathoner and three-time ultra marathoner. (I love running long—it's a great excuse to run slow!) In my day job as a journalist, I've written about running for Runner's World and The Atlantic. More to the point, I've run all over Boston's streets with other runners from all parts of the city. I'd love to show you my favorite running spots—and end with a coffee at one of Boston's best cafes.
