Accessible just off the Centennial Trail, the singletrack paths of Beacon Hill and Camp Sekani are another good option for a trail run within the city limits — especially for those looking to get in some trail work. Be advised these are popular mountain biking trails as well, so it’s a good idea to keep your headphones out and be on the lookout for bikes. The best options for running are typically the easy perimeter trails around the park. See the trail map, courtesy of the Fat Tire Trail Riders Club for more details.
