Greenbury Point is a peninsula just east of Annapolis, at the mouth of the Severn River and overlooking Whitehall Bay. This popular birding area is also a very pleasant spot for a run, featuring some pretty water views and a nature trail through marshy woods. The easier running is a 2.3-mile loop around the peninsula on E and W roads, which are wide gravel paths. Combine this with the nature trails, including the Poet’s Nature Trail and the Timberdoodle Trail for a nearly 4-mile run. These trails are narrower but have decent footing.

Other Routes in Annapolis, MD
A pleasant run exploring the Historic District, State House, U.S. Naval Academy, St. John's College, and bridges over Spa Creek/Severn River. We've created a separate route for just the Naval Academy, which can be combined with the 'Runseeing' tour.
340-acre park is the largest park in Annapolis and the best for a run. We recommend creating your own run on the 6 miles of trails, combining woods, open spaces, shoreline. The park features art pavilions, a small lake, and formal gardens.
The B&A Trail is 13.3-mile paved mutli-use path stretching from Glen Burnie, near BWI, south to Annapolis. It's one of the the best spots in the area for a long off-road run. It's mainly wooded, and quite flat. There are half-mile markers along the way. Choose a section!
The geography of the area makes it hard to put together a longer waterside run in Chesapeake Bay, but there are a few really nice spots. Naval Academy Campus, Annapolis Cove, and combining Arundel on the Bay with Thomas Point are good bets.
Broadneck Park, Peninsula Trail, Cape St. Claire
Annapolis, MD
A pleasant, short park run on paved multi-use trails. Combine the park perimeter walking trail with the Broadneck Peninsula Trail for a nearly 3-mile run. For longer, add the Bay Hills Park and Cape St. Claire neighborhoods.
This 288-acre farm turned country park is a great spot for a destination run. There's a 2.8 mile paved perimeter trail and several miles of natural trails, combination of fields and woods. Can also connect to the B&A Trail, 0.5 miles east. Video preview!
