Editorial Review for Memorial Drive – by Citysearch Editors
Overview
Even without challenging hills, workout warriors can burn off plenty of calories on this flat down-and-back stretch. Including Memorial Drive, there are nearly 18 miles of paths by the Charles for biking and running.
Features
One of the few good points about Boston's often dreary weather is it really makes residents appreciate the occasional beautiful day. City officials understand this, and on Sundays from 11am to 7pm, between the last Sunday in April and the end of November, they cordon off a stretch between the Western Avenue and Eliot bridges so sun-deprived locals can take full advantage of nature's blessing. Bostonians dust off their Spandex and turn out in droves to run, skate or just stroll.
