The Running Course
Length: Approximately 4 miles
Location: Green Belt Trail System
None, but we do recommend a good pair of trail running shoes. Active Soles in Palmer can help if you need to have a gait analysis and a professional fitting of the right shoe.
Description of the run:
The run is 4 miles of ups and downs on a combination of dirt and grass field trails just like the bike portion. If it’s been raining, expect mud. If it’s been dry, expect dust. If the sun is out, wear sunglasses and try to ignore the awesome majestic view overlooking Matanuska Lake and Turnagain Arm so you don’t twist an ankle or sustain some other injury. These trails are truely some of the most beautiful in the state yet there is no long dirve to get to them. They are and nestled right in the middle of the Mat-Su Valley just minutes from Palmer and Wasilla, a real treasure to be discovered over and over again.
