It’s no secret that I run for my health. That’s my answer, plain and simple. To that end, having fun along the way definitely adds to it. And, I would add exploration as part of that fun to spice up my run.
Recently I explored such a trail in San Juan, Peurto Rico. It is called Parque Lineal Río Bayamón. I ran from Metro San Juan where I stayed north until it touches the ocean – The Atlantic Ocean. See the picture I took above. For a round trip of 10 miles.
Not only the trail has controlled (but free) access through staffed entrances, it was nicely maintained with rest stops along the route. One can stop to use the facilities, buy water or coffee, enjoy the view. Saw many family activities as well.
Another nice feature of this trail is that it has separate lanes for bicyclists and pedestrians to avoid accident or collision. If you plan to give the trail a try just note the last two miles before the ocean are without facilities services.
Got any fav run you like to share?
