Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

The plan is to run 14-16 miles, at a moderate pace, starting at the Johnson Ferry parking lot, heading up the hill on Johnson Ferry Road toward Lower Roswell Road.  We'll then head down Lower Roswell Road toward Azalia Drive, and on to Riverside Park. There are bathrooms as well as water and vending machines at Riverside Park which we'll stop at.  Depending on the mileage, we'll then loop around and head back the same route.  There are some new running/biking trails along this route we'll be exploring.  It should be a fun, social, and scenic run!

This is a great run for those preparing for a fall marathon.  After the run we plan to stop at the Starbucks near where we parked for those interested.


Required Items to Bring:
