Running Around Fenway Park
None
Today I ran the street around Fenway Park as part of my training for the 5k Santa Run in Glastonbury CT. I headed over to Fenway Park because I needed to do some Christmas Shopping and I was looking for a Santa Hat for the 5k run. (The Yawkey Way Store didn't have any Santa hats.)
My trip from the Prudential Mall to Fenway Park was fairly easy, I had a slight wait at Massachusetts Ave and then it was a smooth run towards Fenway Park via Westland and Fenway Parkway. This isn't a great running location due to the number of major intersections, but it's a good warm up.
Here's little useful information the total distance around the outside perimeter of Fenway Park is 1k. This makes Fenway park a great place in Boston to practice for a 5k. There are no intersections to cross! There is a soft slope along Yawkey way and Landsdown Street and this gives you some practice with slope running regardless of which direction you run around the park.
If you work in Boston's Back Bay, I would highly recommend running around Fenway Park as part of your training for the next 5k.
