Stream This: The Ultimate Broad Street Run 2013 Playlist

Make sure to get these songs on your iPod before hitting the road on Sunday.

It’s. Finally. Here. That’s right, the largest 10-mile road race in the U.S.A. is this Sunday, and it’s right here in our backyard.

Hopefully, by now, you’ve picked out your red race-day socks, you’ve memorized BSR’s new security measures, you’ve accepted that Cecily Tynan will most definitely leave you in the dust, and you’re looking forward to running side-by-side with a few enthusiastic Bostonians. You good? Good.

Although you may think you’re 150 percent prepared to face the day, having covered all of the above plus some seriously intense training because you’re the bomb dot com, I think you’re missing something: You’re missing the soundtrack.

So, here it is: The Ultimate Broad Street Run 2013 Playlist. We’ve got some oldies, all goodies, “Eye of the Tiger” (because, well, obviously), a new Justin Timberlake song, Ozzy Osbourne and Disturbed (to wake you up toward the middle of your run), lots of booty-bouncing jams, and—warning—occasionally some profanity (hey, every rose has its thorn, okay?). The entire playlist clocks in at around two hours.

I knew I wanted to bring this playlist to a close with either “Gonna Fly Now (Theme From ‘Rocky’)” or “Chariots of Fire,” but I just couldn’t make that decision myself: I don’t have it in me to cut one of them because they’re both awesome in my book. So I’m leaving that decision to you, since this is your run and, ultimately, your playlist. But I highly recommend ending on one of the two.
