Southside Park Running Trail
Distance
5.3 miles
Trail Description
A whole bunch of great groups* helped pack 5.3 miles of trail within the city limits. These trails provide something for everybody. The beginner loop is easy rolling single-track while the intermediate has more vertical with some rocks. The advanced section has some excellent short hills to practice your power hiking skills and has some tough rock garden areas that will make you pay attention. The trails are newer and not as highly trafficked but a well-marked.

Pho Dai Loi
Who wants some warm Pho after a cold winter run? A solid Vietnamese restaurant just five minutes from the trailhead.
Great Latin American food with good service.
