Bridge & Back 10K

7 August 2016 – Salem, MA: 

The Bridge and Back 10K starts on Charter Street in Salem, traverses cobble-stoned Front street, runs up Washington Street and down Bridge Street, goes along Salem’s flat Bridge Street Bypass, then up and over the high-rise Beverly-Salem Bridge, along Water St in Beverly, then goes up and down hill along the length of Dane Street before looping around and then back onto Dane Street to Water Street and a return engagement with the Beverly-Salem Bridge. At the end of the Bridge Street Bypass the race course turns up the hill on St. Peter Street, then loops beside the Hawthorne Hotel, goes down to Charter Street for one last hill, before the final 50 yards to the finish.

Only seven Striders could bring themselves to run this 10K since it was only three days after the Beverly Homecoming 5K (where Jen O’Neil finished 5th in her age group) and the Yankee Homecoming 10M/5K which the other six Striders had raced in.
