Lace up! — 06/09/22

It’s a season of road races! Whether you are new to running (or walking) or are working on a streak, there are 5Ks (as well as a few 10Ks) where you can work on your form throughout the summer. Need to get some new sneakers before you hit the road? We ask some local shoe experts for advice on how to pick the running shoe that can get you going.

Also on the cover, hiking columnist Dan Szczesny finds the historic Jacob Chase Horse Block during a trip to Chester with his daughter, p. 17; John Fladd celebrates the early spring greens with a bright green gin-based cocktail, p. 28, and Matt Ingersoll talks to the owners of the Nest Family Cafe in Londonderry about their new family-friendly hang out spot, p. 24.
