Title: 10 Best Places to Run
Post by: DinaC on February 15, 2009, 09:23:22 pm
If you’re into running and looking for a new place to race, you should check out the “Place to Run Before You Die” eBook on Saverun.org.  There is a list of some really sweet races and marathons around the country, like Saratoga Battlefield, NY and Tybee Island, GA.

Check it out. Let us know if you’ve tried any of these runs. Or, if you have a better suggestion, add it. Join SaveRun.org (http://saverun.org) and submit your entry for a chance to be featured in the next chapter of the eBook.

I hope the Planet Walk is on there. One mile of sheer planetary glory along the majestic Logan River. Mixed asphalt and cement.

I seem to recall that we have had this discussion before...

Maybe even a couple of times...

And you have to give Paul props for consistently touting Planet Walk.  And rightly so.

Somebody has to be an advocate.

Gratz to Jonathan for exposing the post as spam.

Ignoring the spam nature of the post, and limiting this to Utah, I submit some of my favorites

-Bonneville shoreline trail
-Provo river trail
-up Hobble creek canyon
-a bunch of backcountry trails that I remember only vaguely, and could not accurately describe, but undoubtably some of the most enjoyable runs ever. Example: some path that went around the front (west?) side of Mt Timpanogas.The sort of place you will only find if someone shows it to you.
