Phoenix Area Running/Jogging/Hiking Routes

Share your routes and your experiences of road-to-trail running/jogging/hiking in the Great Phoenix Area.

Description

I have mapped out well over a hundred routes ranging in distance from 0.5 miles to 30-something miles. Nearly half of my routes are for my high school cross country team, in the SE Valley, but the others are further afield. I love mapping out routes on the South Mountain trails near where I live.

Hi joeydi,I will try to continue to add more runs as I map them. I\'ve got tons, but most of them are related to my cross country team\'s training in the Gilbert area. I have many more, though, in Tempe and Phoenix.Bruce
