Running Routes From UWF Gym

Pros

  • Fox Run neighborhood: quiet, beautiful neighborhood.
  • Scenic Hills golf course loop is typically not too trafficky.
  • Can easily be modded to a 7.5 mile run by cutting out the campus loop at the end.

Cons

  • Two small stretches along 9-mile with no sidewalk and heavy traffic (about 3/4 mile total).
  • Fairly long hill in the last mile of the run when I'm hoping to cool-down, mentally.
