Eddie O's races are the best. Most of the races take place in Cambridge, hence the name of the…read moreorganization. However, in recent years he has started adding some creative races in the Greater Boston area that are quite fun as well. His website gives a great preview to all the fun that takes place at the races. You can sign up through the website using Race Menu. A few days before the race, you pick up your bib number and t-shirt. I can't remember a time where I've picked up a bib number and not seen Eddie there greeting people and getting to know race participants. The t-shirts are fantastic, super soft and end up being a part of my summer casual wardrobe. Race day is well organized, especially as he has a few races under his belt. All the necessary items for a successful race are there: 1. Bag check - still recommend packing light and running with keys, license, etc. There are plenty of volunteers helping with bag check station before and after the race. 2. Water stops along the way and snacks at the end. Eddie has done a good job creating sponsorship opportunities and getting water, bananas, and energy bars in the hands of runners. Usually he has some pizza show up as well. 3. Volunteers along the race route provided encouragement and directions at major intersections. The roads of Cambridge are blocked off, so you can run freely and safely. 4. Dance-off (how many other races have a dance-off)....which is influenced by the most important thing..... 5. And that is the BEER. Eddie has brought in wonderful local craft brewers who keep the beer flowing for hours. Cambridge Brewing Company, Night Shift, Notch, Slumbrew, and Pretty Things are all regular contributors to the imbibing. I've been running these races since the first Oktoberfest a few years ago and they've only gotten better over the years. As of now he has the following races scheduled: 1. Freedom Run - near Galleria around Memorial Day 2. Sasquatch Trail Run at Middlesex Fells/Stone Zoo in July 3. Big Bad Wolf - 5 mile race in Ipswich 4. Oktoberfest - Cambridge Brewing Company in Kendall Sq. in early October 5. Yulefest - Harvard Sq race in early December The race themes usually lead to some inventive costumes from race participants. Overall, it's a great race experience and if you are looking for some fun 5Ks to run during the year, look no further.

This is an older ice rink but it is clean and well repaired. It has 3 full size rinks and (unlike…read moremost of the ice rinks in New England) they are open year round.

During each lesson you could see the kids confidence building. The class is longer other schools and there are enough teacher assistants that each chlld gets the individual attention she/he needs. The final show is not the main focus and seems to be a low key event. We will be back next year.

I have put both my kids in the Peabody Skating Club and all i can say is -Awesome!…read moreMy wife and i have had nothing but great dealings with Sally (the owner)- she even gave us several lessons to try for our younger daughter for free- to make sure she liked it. The best thing about it was the fact that for group lessons the kids actually get teacher time. Each class has a teacher and teacher helpers, this makes it so the kids actually get taught! This is our second year back and our daughters love it, they also love the teachers, my wife is a little better at remembering names but i think our teachers are Nicole and Patricia- either way everyone there is great- When we were exploring getting our Girls into figure skating (due to their constant asking), my wife checked out a bunch of other schools at the Peabody Rink- They were all hectic and it looked like just a bunch of kids standing around, occasionally falling- This group is clearly well run bun great people who seem to genuinely care about teaching kids. It shows that they have been around for over 30 years, as my wife let me know when i was cutting the check (Which by the way was discounted for having 2 kids sign up) Pro's- Kids get plenty of time with teachers and helpers, Owner (Sally) is great, 2 hours to choose from, Not to expensive and they pro-rate weeks- Free recital at the end of the year (my Girls LOVE this) Con's- Rinks are cold and i have to sit there, when i really wanna be at home watching tv and relaxing........but hey, anything for my Girls!!!!!
