Run Boston!

The warm weather has finally arrived in Massachusetts! That means you are no longer stuck running in place on a treadmill at our gym! Spring is the perfect time to run outside with warm temperatures with a slight breeze that make your runs that much more enjoyable. With the upcoming Boston Marathon in five days, we know Massachusetts has running on the mind.

For those of us who aren’t ready to take on 26.2 miles though there are smaller races around the Boston Area that you can participate in! So venture out of Lynnfield Commons and check out this list of races that’ll get you outside and maybe help you take on the Boston Marathon next year!
