The All American Trail is another good spot for a longer off-road run in the Fayetteville area. The wide, gravel path is located in Raeford, about 15 miles west of Fayetteville. The eastern trailhead is at Plank Rd. & Hobson Rd., and runs for 11.3 miles west to Plank & Aberdeen Rd., following the outline of Fort Bragg. The trail is mainly wooded and can be a bit monotonous. But it’s a good way to get in the miles! Among the scenic highlights is a 1,000-foot boardwalk that crosses Rockfish Creek and its wetlands.

Arguably the signature running spot in Fayetteville, this paved multi-use trail winds for 6.3 miles through attractive woodland along the Cape Fear River. The 1,000 foot wetland boardwalk is a highlight.
The best option in the downtown area. A 2.8 mile linear park path winds its way along Cross Creek, connecting several parks. It runs between Festival Park and Riverside Dog Park. Pleasantly green most of the way.
Located at Fort Bragg, a great spot for a trail run, with several miles of trails of varying levels of difficulty. The area is also popular for swimming and mountain biking.
A good off-road running option north of Fayetteville, this crushed stone multi-use trail runs for 5 miles between the towns of Erwin and Dunn. Mix of suburban, open, & wooded terrain. Good signage and some points of interest.
Several areas within 20-30 miles of Fayetteville that are worth-it destinations for trail running: Carvers Creek SP, Ravens Rock SP, and Weymouth Woods-Sandhills Nature Preserve all offer something for trail runners of all abilities.
