In the past the areas' top runners have shown up for this one, so hopefully the trend will continue. There is also a kids race this year. Also on Sunday there is a race that is a personal favorite of mine. It was started as a whim by some runners in that area. Originally it was a men's only race, but now it is a race with no split gender divisions.
Great pasta is served after the race.
Finally on Monday is a race that has truly earned the label spectacular. It is the Tufts Health Plan 10K for Women. At noon, some 4,000 women runners will run through the streets of Boston and Cambridge. Believe me, it is quite a sight. Because of this race's reputation it is now the National 10K Championship.
