Looking for a new running route to shake up your long run? Head out to Fort Worth for a day trip. The city has a number of running hot spots, but few are as scenic or popular as Trinity Trails. These biking and running trails wind their way throughout the city and are not to be missed if you are visiting the area. With nearly 30 miles of trails throughout the city, you can see something new and shake up your running routine.
The majority of the trail system runs along the Trinity River, with mostly paved paths -- although some sections are crushed limestone. For the most scenic view of some of Fort Worth's attractions, pick up the trail at Overton Park and continue north past the Fort Worth Zoo, Botanic Garden and Trinity Park. If you need a long run, you can start down in Pecan Valley Park for a longer route. There are numerous water fountains along this section of the running path, and lots of trees along this route provide welcome shade in the summer. Other areas of the trail system are less shaded, so bring sunscreen.
If you're in downtown Fort Worth for business or pleasure, your easiest access to the running trails is in Heritage Park, which is listed on the Trinity Trails map. If you decide to head out toward Gateway Park or down to Cobb Park, be sure to bring your own water. There are few water fountains in this section of the trail.
If you rather stick around Dallas instead of trekking over to Fort Worth for the day, you can also plan a run at White Rock Lake or Katy Trail.
