Great Runs in Brookline

With the arrival of spring and the approaching Boston Marathon, a new book on wonderful local running routes, Great Runs in Brookline, has just been published. Geared toward recreational runners and walkers, the book features more than 25 "themed" runs through Brookline's great neighborhoods, ponds, parks, and pathways. It is available at local book shops and retail stores, such as Brookline Booksmith, B.U. Bookstore, and Marathon Sports.

Mark Lowenstein, the author of Great Runs in Brookline, will be speaking April 6 at the Brookline Public Library as part of National Public Health Week.
