We meet every Saturday & Sunday on Boston Common and run a 5k course that passes some of the most important landmarks from America's Revolution. During the run we stop at over sixteen sites to learn interesting facts (& take pictures!) and wind-up getting a great workout by the time we finish!

“What a fun way to do the freedom trail.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2012

The freedom trail run with Eddie was a really fun way to see the 16 historical sites on the trail. Eddie was super energetic and informative. We got our heart rates up and a Boston history lesson all before 10:30am. Even at 34F we had a really nice time. More

“Fantastic way to see Boston's historical sites and get a little exercise while you're at it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2012

Eddie is fantastic! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Great way to see the sites on the Freedom Trail, while getting a jog in. The pace is totally manageable, especially given that there are lots of stops along the way. Wear warm clothes if you're going in the dead of winter! More

The Freedom Trail Run is a unique fusion of physical activity and historic tour taken through Boston. It is both invigorating and interesting. I'd go again and would recommend going alone or in a group. More

We had a great time running through the streets of Boston with Eddie O'Connor. It was entertaining and informative for children and adults. It felt great to hit that 294th step at the top of the Bunker Hill Monument! More
