As one of the most coveted slices of real estate in Shreveport, Ellerbe Woods is a neighborhood of impressive homes, towering pines, and quiet streets. It’s also home to Run Wild, Shreveport’s go-to independent running store. Ellerbe Road is the main street through this area, and is surprisingly popular for running. There is no sidewalk, and the shoulder is somewhat narrow, but traffic along this stretch is minimal. If you prefer quieter roads, the short residential streets off Ellerbe Rd. in Wildoak and Ellerbe Woods have some good meandering options. We’ve mapped a 9 mile tour of the neighborhood for your reference, but feel free to design your own route!

Other Routes in Shreveport, LA
Run the “main drag” through downtown Shreveport, the Red River District, and Bossier City with our 4 mile tour of the city sights. Highlights include crossing the Long-Allen Bridge.
Running along the Red River is the highlight of the scene in Shreveport. There are two paths along the bank of the river, including the Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway and Arthur Ray Teague Parkway.
There are many miles of easygoing trail running at the Red River National Wildlife Refuge, including a car-free gravel road and a loop around scenic Lake Caroline.
Betty Virginia Park has a nice .7 mile loop circling the park, but the real highlights of the Caddo Heights/South Highland Neighborhood are the surrounding streets. We’ve mapped a neighborhood tour that combines with the park loop for a 5k.
Trail runners will find plenty of great running options within an hour’s drive of Shreveport, including Lake Bistineau State Park, Bodcau Wildlife Management Area, and The Monkey Trail at Eddie D. Jones Park.
