this week the Baystate runners will do their 22, the Chicago runners will finish up their training, and a slew of you will put some finishing touches on your fall half training.
The route will start going North on Maine Street where you can share another moment with Clarence DeMar. Turn left at Melrose Steet onto the Lynfells Parkway, to the Fellsway East, turning right on Highland Ave and getting to water stop 1.
Go around the backside of Spot Pond and turn left at Friendly’s making your way to the water stop at Eugene Drive. Then head down Forest turning left on the other Highland and run all the way to the end for another water stop.
After that stop go left on RT38/Main Street, right on Playstead, right on Mystic Valley Parkway, right on Bacon, left back on Mystic Valley Parkway. Look for water along the right side of the road.
After that continue to the second set of lights, turn left on Washington, continue to the Ginger Bread Construction Company where you turn right to head back up Forest to Eugene. Stop for water again.
Next head back to Friendly’s, continue straight, past the Stone Zoo, left on Pond down to Grimsby’s where you turn left. Follow he LynnFells Parkway past Melrose High, turning right on Melrose Street and right on Main Street. Finish up at Brueggers and start your taper with a bagel.
If you’re running Chicago run the 12 in the short route map. After the first water stop you’ll loop Spot Pond back to the first stop and the finish up by turning on to East Border Road and left on the Fellsway East. Turn right on West Wyoming and left on Main to finish up your training. Good luck in Chicago!
Half trainers, if you want to do 9, after the first water stop head around Spot Pond with everyone else but turn left on Pond and head down West Wyoming turning left on Main to finish up.
