Last week, although it was in the 70s was a very uncomfortable humid, hilly, 6/12 miles. This week things are looking up for you! The route is shorter, the heat wave has broken, the humidity has lowered, and the course is a lot flatter. while the group may be small since some are on vacation and a contingent of runners headed down to Narragansett for the Blessing of the Fleet 10 Miler.
This week we run north on Main St into Wakefield, straight to the water stop at Nick’s Pizza at the Main St, North Ave, Nahant St intersection.
If you’re running short, turn around and head back for 6 flat miles.
If you’re running long keep heading up Main St, through Wakefield Center and along the right side of Lake Quannapowitt. Keep following the lake, circling counter clockwise by turning left on Lowell St, left onto Quannapowitt Ave through the Converse parking lot (use the path, or go around the building if you want to run a bit longer), out to North Ave, and left on Church St. This will bring you back to the church at the head of the lake. Turn right on Common St along the Wakefield Common back to Main St and ultimately back to the water stop.
From there you head south on Main St and that’ll bring you back to Brueggers for a total of 10.7 flat miles.
I’ve got the water stops.
