Local Running Trails

Listed here are a few ideas for running in and around Tallahassee. Some are famous, some hidden, some concrete and asphalt and some trail. Remember as you go to explore them there are dogs, snakes, ticks, roots, cracked sidewalks and no sidewalks, heat, rain and on rare occasions even snow, plus hundreds of other hazards. You alone are responsible for your safety. We (neither GWTC nor any of the authors of these pages) do not guarantee anything by listing these places to run. They are here for your enjoyment – but please remember it is up to you to protect yourself from all hazards. Of course there are also deer, fox, turkey, owls, osprey, live oaks, lakes and swamps. There are many ways to find yourself and to lose yourself, so go explore and tell us what you find.
