Best Place To Run

Charles River Esplanade

Yeah, we know you love that dirty water. You sing about it, you have your silly regattas on it, so why not run next to it? Give it a wink and a smile as you wipe the sweat from your brow, and blow it a little air kiss while you’re at it. The CHARLES RIVER ESPLANADE is a perennial reader favorite and it’s pretty obvious why. The place is serene, the views unparalleled, and, best of all, it’s right in our own backyard — a three-mile gem of open space in a city of sidewalks and skyscrapers.
