This is a great run with lots of variety, with several length options. We’ve mapped a 3.4 mile route from Confluence Park to the top of Web Hill, through sort of a linear park. Starting at Confluence Park, take the paved Virgin River Trail South Spur for 1 mile south to St. James Park, and continue for another mile through Larkspur Park to Bloomington Hills N Park. This park has a nice 0.5 mile trail through it. At this point, you’ll be at 2.3 miles. For a great hill challenge, with great views as a reward, continue off the trail onto Hillside Ave./Webb Hill Rd., where you’ll climb 400 feet over 1 mile to the summit of Webb Hill. Great views!

Add-Ons: Virgin River Trail at Confluence Park goes for up to 9 miles along the Virgin River to Washington.

Confluence Park, or other spot along Virgin River Trail South Spur
The signature off-road trail in St. George. The paved multi-use path follows the Virgin River for 9 miles between Confluence Park and Washington. Mostly open terrain, with views of the surrounding mountains & rocks. There are several offshoots and spur trails.
One can stitch together a decent run in downtown St. George, hitting some of the city's historic highlights and pleasant residential streets. Include Dixie State University, Pioneer Courthouse, the Brigham Young Winter Home, and Pioneer Park.
A favorite for running in St. George. The 7,400-acre scenic park is tucked amid lava flows, soaring sandstone cliffs and colorful desert scenery. Easy, scenic running on paved Whiptail Trail. Also some more moderate & challenging trail running.
A decent off-road running opportunity. The two trails combine for ~5 miles, headed north toward Snow Canyon State Park. Nice surrounding desert scenery. Can continue on the Whiptail Trail & other Snow Canyon SP trails.
An easier, wide trail with a good surface. Follows an old pioneer road between the banks of the Santa Clara River and cliffs of Land Hill. Great views of the area landscape, and you might see prehistoric petroglyphs and pioneer graffiti!
