I have this question about the verb "run". According to definition 11a of this dictionary, "run" means "to go or extend in a particular direction" when used to describe roadways/pathways. But then there is this:
In Boston, a simple red brick path runs for 2.5 miles through the heart of the city, connecting 16 of its Revolutionary sites, ending at Bunker Hill.
,where the phrase "runs for 2.5 miles" does not fit the dictionary definition of "going or extending in a particular direction". Could the example sentence be poor writing?
