Running Trails

Trails on TrailLink.com make excellent pathways for runners, offering separation from traffic and other on-street obstacles. And if the trail is a rail-trail, the even, flat grade is great for everything from your post-work workout to marathon training. In fact, many competitive runs—from your 5K to your 26.2-miler—are held on rail-trails all across the country for exactly that reason.

When choosing a good trail for running, surface is often the biggest consideration. Many runners prefer a more natural trail surface like dirt or cinder over asphalt and concrete. You can search for trails by surface on TrailLink.com, and check the comments section or other links on individual trail pages to find more information on races run on trails.
