I trust you all had a great run last weekend in my absence. Thank you Courtney for keeping things going, out and around Horn Pond. This week we head to the east, into Saugus for some hill training in Breakheart. The run will start from Brueggers promptly at 8AM and head up Main Street, bearing right on to Green Street, and a right onto the LynnFells Parkway. Follow the parkway into Saugus until you reach the Saugus entrance of Breakheart. Turn left into the parking lot and look for a water stop car.
After the water stop, if you’re running short, turn around and go back the way you came to finish up your run. If you’re running long, run a loop around Breakheart, entering on your right, bearing right at the pond following the outer loop of Breakheart. You’ll eventually wind up back in the parking lot for another stop at the water stop car. After that stop head back the way you came to finish up your run.
Didn’t quite get this right. You’ll be going to Breakheart but in the Wakefield side. S0… go up Main St to Green St right onto the LynnFells Parkway. At the set of lights turn left on Main Street in Saugus. Follow this onto Farm Street in Wakefield. Stop at Wakefield High School for a water stop.
Head up the hill into Breakheart and do a full lap counter clockwise around Breakheart. When you hit the lake go right to get back to the Wakefield side. Come back down the hill and back to the water stop.
From there go right on Farm, left on Water, left on Main and back Main Street to Melrose til you get to Brueggers.
Running short? Follow the crowd out to Main Street in Saugus. Loop back along Howard Street. When you get back to the LynnFells Parkway follow it across Main Street, past Melrose High School up to Grimsby’s. Turn left there and go back West Wyoming, left on Main Street and on to Brueggers.
An alternate short loop is drive over to the plaza at the corner of the LynnFells and Main Street in Saugus. Hop in there and run up to Wakefield High, around Breakheart, and back to your car.
