The 2023 Charlie Card Challenge is an unsanctioned urban road race taking place in Boston on September 8th. This thrilling race will be held along the MBTA Green Line (B), offering participants a unique opportunity to test their speed against the iconic T trains. Starting at Boston College, the objective is simple - outrun a Green Line (B) train all the way to Park Street, covering a distance of 6 miles. The race kicks off when the first train departs after 7:00pm ET. Runners will follow the above-ground rail line for 4 miles, racing against the visible train until reaching Blandford St. From there, the Green Line goes underground, and the final 2 miles of the race will take participants through Commonwealth Ave., the Public Gardens, and into Boston Common. It's worth noting that during this last stretch, runners will not have knowledge of the train's whereabouts. Fear not, as a race marshal will be on board the train to keep official time. Once the train arrives at Park Street, the marshal will disembark into Boston Common, marking the end of the Charlie Card Challenge. Runners who cross the finish line before the marshal will proudly claim victory, proving themselves faster than the T. It's important to note that this is an unsanctioned race, and all traffic and pedestrian laws must be followed. Participants join at their own risk. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to put your speed to the test along one of Boston's most iconic transportation routes.

The experience is very good, the tour guide keeps talking for an hour, amusing everyone. You can experience all the city views on the land surface. The moment I launched the water, I was videoing it. I met other duck boats during the journey. Everyone would learn to duck and say hello to each other.

Freedom Trail

西行阿里

The terminal of the Freedom Trail
This granite monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States, used to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British Army and the North American Colonial Militia (OK, I admit that I checked it recently
)
Now this is the terminal of Boston&#39;s Freedom Trail. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park~
The only way to get to the top of the monument is to climb the stairs
There are a total of 294 steps, and numbers are marked every few steps, so that people who are panting and climbing the stairs can have a number in mind

There is actually only a small space on the top of the monument, but looking out through the small windows on all four sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is worth it~
