Can’t make it to the mountains next week but still want to get outdoors and meet new people? Join us next Wednesday evening for a chatty running adventure followed by gelato/sorbet in Boston!

Route: We’ll depart from the MIT Student Center at 5:30pm on a ~4.4 mile route. We'll first head toward the Museum of Science, cross the Charles via the Longfellow Bridge, explore the esplanade, enjoy the Comm Ave Park, and swing by the Reflecting Pool. Then we'll finish the run at Da Vinci Café for some gelato and fruit sorbet, subsidized by MITOC! Afterward, participants can walk/run or take the 1 bus back to Cambridge. There is also a Green/Orange line stop nearby to the North End/JP/Somerville.

Pace: This is a no-drop run (we’ll run at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone), but as a rough guideline, you should currently be comfortable running at least 4 miles (flat road) at a 9-10 min/mi pace.

TL;DR:

• Start location: MIT Student Center (W20)
• End location: Da Vinci Café in Boston
• Start time: 5:30pm on Wednesday 9/10
• Trip pre-reqs: able to comfortably run at 9-10min/mile pace for 4 miles
• Cost: Gelato/sorbet scoops to be subsidized by MITOC!

This trip is part of MITOC’s Back-to-School initiative – anyone is welcome to sign up, but priority will be given to MIT students, especially those new to MITOC!
