The run starts at the West Roxbury YMCA and runners have a choice of either a 3-or 5-mile route at a friendly pace. Breakfast snacks and coffee will be served afterwards back at the YMCA.
"If you choose to join or renew a membership with the Parkway Running Club, it’ll be the best 'first check' of a New Year you’ve ever written. Seriously," said Rachel Forsyth-Tuerck of the Parkway Running Club.
