Mural Run: Holyoke, MA

1

If you’re local and free, you’re welcome to join us on the mural run that I’m hosting with Lindsay from The Reset Fitness on Sunday July 7th at 7:30am

We’ll be starting at the Open Square parking lot & doing a ~4 mile route that passes by the downtown murals from the Beyond Walls Holyoke project.

This route - Beyond Walls Holyoke - CityStrides - also showcases the new Bookmarks feature. The bookmark-icon tab contains a list of the murals & the ‘Show All’ button places markers on the map for each mural.

I won’t be able to join, but that sounds like great fun! Here are a couple murals I just saw on a recent run in Boston, to inspire you.

Nice ones!

We’ve got one by https://www.bordaloii.com/ that’s epic - it’s a moose made of trash, but you can’t tell until you’re up close & seeing hubcaps and gears and stuff.
Oh! @kevincharlespels he’s from Lisbon

Here’s a new Mexico-themed mural that popped up near me in Lisbon in recent weeks. Far out of the touristic downtown area though :joy:
