From the north side of campus, im looking for a good jogging route without being the only person running or too much traffic.

How far are you wanting to run? The loop around campus (University, Texas, Bush, Wellborn)is a good 4.5 miles route. Also the trails through the Wolf Pen Creek are very nice to walk or run. There are just under 1.5 miles of trails there.

Research Park is good. Traffic is light and the sidewalks are smooth.

check out www.mapmyrun.com
It's another way to map your running using google maps. It's free and you don't have to create an account!


and I second the areas mentioned above.

if you're looking for a longer route and you like running around campus, you could combine that campus loop and run out to research park as well. it serves as a great long route. Another you can do is run around Reed arena, if you're concerned with mileage. the Reed arena sidewalk loop is exactly a mile.

thanks for those websites! now i just have to convince myself to run!!!

for longer runs, from the quad (southside) out to the dairy center and back is 6 miles, and you get to run on the packed dirt instead of asphalt, which my knees have always appreciated.

Another longer run is out to the nuke plant and back. 8 miles round trip, very little traffic on the road out there.

Wolf Pen has 2 different parks that are caddy corner from each other. I really like that one because its really serene in the events.

I run from campus, down GB to 2818 and back

I like to run around west campus. Lots of routes and you can interchange them.

h1, I was totally gonna suggest that. Probably the first thing that comes to any CT's mind for a long run... haha. I'm in SQ12.

The couch.

Any additions here? I'm on my annual "I'm gonna run a 1/2 marathon" trip.

Any trails around the university? That might be kinda cool.

probably some new websites and AI to utilize since this was resurrected from 20 years ago.

Nice wide shared use paths down Boonville.

yeah, there's several apps that have this stuff on them (for a fee) but wanted to see if there's anything not on them (alltrails, komoot, etc).

I see people running on the trail that runs behind what used to be Ozona on Harvey.

yeah, that's Wolf Pen. I jog there typically. It's a pretty easy route and there's always people on there (which is important because I need somebody to call 911 when I have a heart attack : )

I bike on the Lick Creek Greenway, because it's near my house, but that's nowhere near campus.

Yeah I might do that if/when I want more miles. Going around in circles is not fun. Is there many people on there daily?

Yes. I regularly pass people on there. It runs through a lot of residential neighborhoods, and there's a few places with convenient public parking.

Lick Creek Greenway is great.

If you're looking for something close to campus try this:

Wolf Penn Creek Park -> (Via Central Park Ln) -> Central Park -> (Krenek Tap) -> Bee Creek Park -> Anderson Park-> (George Bush) ->Wolf peen Creek

Its ~6 miles, you string the parks together to get a loop with good shade, restrooms and water fountains. You can add Thomas park to it while on the George Bush.

Lick Creek greenway is probably the best running trail in the area. I use it frequently, and you can do pretty much do any distance that fits your plan. From one end all the way to the Lick Creek facility is at least 6 miles (distance markers measure just to the park at end of Pebble Creek). Let me know if you want more info.
