It's a city. There's very little chance of 10 interrupted miles unless you leave the city limits. The only place it might be possible is if you run through a bunch of connected trails at the cascades, but even then that's a stretch.

I guess to be clear I'm not worried about stopping for intersections I'm just struggling to find 10 miles of sidewalk that are all connected which is weird. I moved here from Milwaukee and it was relatively easy to find that there I just think it's so strange that sidewalks just end here.

Worcester has terrible transit infrastructure. Even for a car centric city, the car infrastructure is bad.

They just created a transit department for the city literally this past week or so, so who knows. Maybe it gets better.

well yeah, to be pedantic I should have told them to go to a track or a highway since they're likely to hit a driveway wherever they go.

The Shore Dr 5k circle is the closest thing you're going to find that has sidewalks throughout with the least likelihood of needing to wait on a car.

This is the biggest perpendicular intersection where 90% of the time there will be no need to do more than look both ways.

Another 5k option would be the Newton Hill XC course.
