Hello All-

I’ll be in Richmond, VA (staying downtown on East Canal Street) on business and was wondering if anyone had any running route suggestions in that area.

Just want to get two good runs in - on or off road…anything safe and convenient will do.

Thanks

don’t know the running routes but this YMCA is pretty good, if you are not a Y member you may want to call and see about a day pass http://www.ymcarichmond.org/downtown/

If you go during daylight hours, then you might want to run over to Belle Isle and run some laps around it. The trail is well packed dirt and it has some nice connecting trails as well. You could even try the Xterra East Coast champs run course if you wanted. The park closes at dark.

If you want to run on the road you could run up Franklin St or Main St going west and hop over to Monument Ave. The traffic us heavier on this route but it’s a good run.

Or you could check out the Richmond Roadrunners website for some other routes.
