Recently we met up with several friends in SF to run the beautiful Marin Headlands trails. Located north of San Francisco, just over the Golden Gate Bridge, this hilly area has great views of the bridge, bay, and the city. Strava link to our 9 mile route can be found here.
There are many loop options available to find your ideal distance, from a short run to ultra.
Back: Graves shorts, Rockies shirt, Muir hat | Front: Sykes 5'' Shorts, Cascade Shirt, Big Bend Trucker

Stunning coastal views from many sections of the trails.
Most of the trails here are non-technical fire roads. The terrain is hilly with significant elevation change on most of the routes.
Some of these hills are no joke!
Some of these challenging hills are definitely worth the unbelievable views from the top!
Our good friend Toby Silver showed us around on his local trails. Check out his project 50 Shades of Pavement (Instagram | Strava). He is running the entire city of San Francisco, all 1260+ miles and 2612 streets. There are 36 neighborhoods, over 50 hills and nearly endless vistas. He is already 95% there! Read more!

Just ran out in Leadville for the first time… yeah that didn’t suck at all.
My favorite place to run is the public trail right by my house. It is so peacefully quiet in the early mornings when I run and right at mile 3, I get a nice view of Lambeau Filed!
Love running in Tahoe/Truckee area!
Favorite run: Ripley Run in the South Bay Area of California! Plenty of hills on the way to Hermosa Beach.
I love running trails in San Diego!!!
I like running in Southern Colorado, Forbes Park. I love running there because it isn’t hot and flat like here in South Texas plus the views of Blanca Peak, Mount Lindsey and East and West Spanish Peaks is amazing!
Forest Park in Portland, Oregon is the largest urban park in the United States, and a great place for trail running, with mile after mile of single-track trail, old roads closed to motorized vehicles, and everything in between. The only thing that would make it better would be running through the woods there in brand new Path Projects gear purchased with the $100 gift card I just won in this contest. (Hint, hint!)
I live in Ohio, so not a lot of vert around. My favorite places to run locally are Cincinnati Nature Center and My Airy Forest.
My favorite place I’ve run is probably Acadia National Park. Though Pikes Peak was awesome too.
My favorite place to run is on the bike trails of central Iowa!
The trail system is still growing but White Mesa in the Zia Pueblo outside of Bernalillo, NM is truly an amazing and beautiful place. It’s one of those places where it’s hard to take a bad picture. The primary loop is only 8mi long but you feel like you’re running on a different planet.
Favorite place to run is Superstition Mountains in AZ.
My favorite has to be the angels rest devils rest loop in the Columbia river gorge.
Red Rock Canyon, NV. Can’t beat desert sunrises!
Leadville, CO is the coolest place I’ve ever run. But one of these days I’m gonna head out to Cali to run with the Path Projects team on their backyard trails because.. that would be so awesome. Love your stuff!!
My favorite place to run while I lived in the South of France was La Garrigues, a very long stretch of preserved land where the clay covered terrain can vary from tough hills, flats and great single tracks. Coming across hunters during hunting season is always a risk but one worth taking. Wild boars and hunting dogs abound and a few crazy bikers and trail runners lost in the infinite labyrinth of trails in the open space. Solitude, the odor of fresh thyme and rosemary, the magnificent views, all only a hop away from my doorstep. Wonderful 5 yrs spent there running day and night
Cedar ridge preserve, it is the only place in DFW to get some decent elevation gain in.
