Wellesley College Among Best Campuses to Take A Run

The running blog A Good Run named Wellesley College among the 50 best college campuses for a run. Do you run at Wellesley College?

Hey runners! Wellesley College was recently listed among the top 50 college campuses for a good run by the aptly-named blog, A Good Run.

In addition to paved trails throughout campus, the 2.4 mile footpath around Wellesley College's Lake Waban offers solid and varied footing of packed earth, woodchip, mowed grass, and even a stretch of boardwalk, with possible sightings of swans, cormorants, red-winged blackbirds, and more along the way.

Blog author Steve Good has visited nearly 130 campus and wrote, "Each [campus] is unique and many offer wonderful running routes. I had great fun developing this list, and I used my personal experiences/biases along with other research to identify the following 50 beautiful campuses to go for a good run."

I'm curious, do you run at Wellesley College? Or, where's your favorite place in town for a jog?
