Blue Cross Broad Street Run 10 Mile

This race has held onto the title of being the largest 10-Miler in the United States and it shows no signs of losing that title in 2012. Talk about a race that gets bigger and better each year. A 10-mile, point-to-point course (named one of the fastest 10-mile courses in the country by Runner's World) starts at the Central High School Athletic Field at Broad Street and Somerville Avenue. An urban course with runners packed shoulder to should the first mile the cheering crowds nearly outnumber the runners.
