Find Running Trails by StateHelpful information about Running Trails
TrailLink has many excellent running trails for serious runners and casual joggers, alike. Rail-trails in particular are great for post-work exercise or even marathon training. In fact, many competitive runs-from your 5K to your 26.2-miler-are held on rail-trails all across the country. TrailLink has thousands of running paths across all 50 states.
Most trails on TrailLink make suitable running routes, but a few have surfaces that might be too rough (e.g., heavy ballast). If you prefer a more natural trail surface, such as dirt, grass, or cinder, use our filter search feature to find running trails that suit your needs and tastes. In addition to preferred surfaces, you'll find everything from short, medium, and long running routes and from easy, moderate, and sometimes more challenging running trails that have hills. Also included are some fitness trails purpose-built to engage communities in staying healthy.
Running trails and running route maps listed on TrailLink pass through a variety of landscapes, including nature paths through city and county parks; urban passages that provide safe access across town; scenic trails with historical significance; and remotely located running paths through forests and open rural stretches, or among lakes and mountainous regions.
When choosing the right running route for you, consider the trail's surface, length, and distance between amenities, such as water fountains, bathrooms, or shelters. On those longer running trails, bring a friend to share the experience.
All trails listed on TrailLink are multiuse, so whichever your mode of travel, keep in mind that runners should yield to pedestrians and horses.
