Join us for strides and scoops from Honeycomb Creamery (voted best Boston ice cream)!!
Route: We’ll depart from the MIT Student Center at 5:30pm on a ~3.5 mile route. We'll run along the Esplanade up to Harvard Square, and then run to Audrey's place in Porter Square to eat from five pre-bought pints. [FLAVORS TBD, but expect Sweet Corn & Blackberry Jam to be one of them 😋] Afterward, participants can walk/run or take the red line back to MIT.
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 3 miles (flat road) at a 9-10 min/mi pace.
TL;DR:
Start location: MIT Student Center (W20) 5:30pm on Thursday 9/24 End location: Audrey's apartment (right next to Porter station) Trip pre-reqs: able to comfortably run at 9-10min/mile pace for 3 miles Free food: five pints from Honeycomb Creamery
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!
