We all love a good day on the trails hiking, but have you ever thought about picking up the pace and going for a run on the trails? On Blue Hills A-Live, trail runner Tess Harvey tells us why the Blue Hills are great for trail running, the benefits of taking your run from the road to the trails, and hot to get started if you’ve never tried before. From leaping over down logs to navigating through rocks and roots, the reward is not only for your body, but also in those stunning views off the top of Buck Hill. Have you ever tried trail running before?
