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!

I did the Freedom Trail Run on Saturday morning and I'm still giddy over the experience. I'm a very, very new runner (like, um, 1 week into the Couch-to-5k program!) so I was really nervous about keeping up with the group. I got cold feet a few days before the run and emailed Eddie, the tour guide, about my concerns.... More

Ran with Eddie on memorial day weekend with my husband and 2 sons ages 8 & 5. My little one used his scooter. This was by far the highlight of my trip. Eddie was accommodating, responsive and very warm and friendly. He was also very knowledgable. The whole experience was just great. A must do even if u are not... More

My wife and I found this run while looking for a 5k to do while we were in Boston for a family graduation. This run was certainly not a typical 5k but still a good workout and a great tour of Boston at the same time. In our group were runners of all different abilities, but Eddie O was awesome... More

I loved this relatively short run that was interspersed with stops along 16 points on the Freedom Trail, with commentary provided by our guide, Eddie. It's a great way to see historical locations in Boston, and I enjoyed this far better than seeing the spots from a bus.

My sister and I did a Boston vacation in two days, and Eddie's running tour was perfect. He is enthusiastic, welcoming, informative, and energetic. He combined a perfect amount of running so that novice to seasoned runners all enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston.

My husband signed us up for this tour and so I was not sure what to expect. But it was a great historical tour. Also a great way to see a lot of the freedom trail, we had 17 stops on the way and Eddie had great stories and historical facts to share at each one. Then to finish with... More

I was visiting Boston with a friend and we were looking for something fun and active to do. We knew the town is loaded with history and dozens of fascinting things to check out, but didn't really know where to start or what the highlights were. We were lucky to come across the Freedom Trail Run, and I simply couldn't... More

This was a perfect mix of history, story telling, sightseeing, and exercise. Eddie O's energy and passion were definitely contagious and set the tone for a most enjoyable jog through historic Boston. We found it to be just right amount of detail on the historic topics. We were lucky to have a beautiful day, but we would have had a... More

Eddie is incredibly personable and so much fun! After living in Boston for 2 years, it seemed silly that I hadn't been to nearly half the sites along the trail... My family was in town for graduation and it was an opportunity for everyone to share in the fun touristy part of Boston, but also get a great workout in.... More
