town and swampy 4.0 mile (capital blvd start)
a narrow greenway loop right at 4 miles in length that allows for parking until 11pm on service road (yonkers road on many maps city street sign says ratchford dr.) with greenway entrance. about a mile of the run is on wooden bridge structures that run alongside crabtree creek and over a waterfilled drainage area. the rest is asphalt paved. first turnaround point is a painted rectangle on path saying 2.00 (about 1.4 mi into the run) behind yet another car dealership) - second turnaround point is at a greenway section terminus at crabtree blvd (once across swampy area, see map). trail winds behind some business areas and underneath some highways providing a neat mix of urban and woodsy running. in summer, at night, you might see deer, raccoon, beaver, frogs and toads, herons, fox, snake and many spiders in the grass (with a headlight). funny plant smells too. run is mostly flat with a moderate but short incline on return leg up a wooden walkway through the treetops. - a 4 mi running route in Raleigh, North Carolina
