Waterfront Course Map

Harbor air, brewery confidence, and a long blue road to Trillium.

This is the mapped version of the Waterfront Course. The full route shows the big picture, but the leg-by-leg links are the practical way to move from one stop to the next without accidentally turning the day into a sightseeing experiment.

Load the next leg before you leave each stop. The water views are nice, but they are not a navigation strategy.

Stops 10 + Finish
Legs 10
Total 26.2 mi
Watch plan

If you are using a Garmin or another watch, load each leg before leaving the bar. It is easy while you are still standing at the stop. It is less easy after the group starts wandering toward the next shiny thing.

Leg By Leg

The Waterfront Course keeps the same spirit as the Original Course, with a harbor-side swing and a few legs that are very much not kidding.

Stop 1 to Stop 2

Sam Adams to Bleacher Bar

Start with a beer at Sam Adams, then load this leg before heading out. Brewery confidence is high. Logistics are still pretending to be simple.

L Street Tavern to BBQ Smoke Shop

Shorter leg, bigger strategic value. Food becomes less of a nice idea and more of a public service.
