Looking for some trail runs of 6 - 12 miles near San Diego…Thanks.
These are both in North County San Diego - about 45 minutes north of downtown.
San Elijo Lagoon. Park at the end of Rios Ave in Solana Beach, head East underneath the freeway overpass and inland.

Also, Elfin Forest is very nice - a long uphill start, but then rolling and beautiful around a reservoir.

Have fun.
If you like to run hills head out to Mission Trails park. Lots of trails there and even a few flat areas.
The beach is flat in the summer at Del Mar & Torrey pines . If your good enough to run the trail up Cowls Mtn. fairly steep , most just walk up slowly -lots of ankle twisting ruts & rocks. You can run north down to mission trails park.
Its hot 90+F , so do it 6 am or 7pm .
