The 3,819-ft Mount Roberts is one of the signature features of Juneau. It’s a mainly wooded mountain, but the views from the peak are spectacular. There are some excellent running options here, but it’s moderate to very challenging trail running. One can take a tram to the top of Mount Roberts and hike/run along the ridge.

Scenic waterfront path with great views of the channel, Mount Juneau, and surrounding mountains. Combine Aurora Harbor Way & Seawalk for 2.5 miles. Can add Douglas Bridge & Egan Dr. for more.
Run in the area of a glacier! Options include several loop trails from the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, a paved multi-use path along Glacier Spur Rd., and trails in the lakes area of Tongass National Forest accessed from the US Forest Ranger Station.
Our recommendation of some of the easier trails for running in Juneau: Mendenhall Refuge Trail, Kaxdigoowu Heen Dei Trail, Trails Around Mendenhall Glacier, & trails in the Dredge Lakes Area.
