No matter. The roads are even less suitable for running in UC, as the lanes are barely wide enough for a car.

Agreed. I get nervous when there are runners on the road anywhere much less a two lane road. Especially when they are runing on the wrong side of the road.

If he plans on running for his school, the best choice is going to be McAlpine. The Union County area schools hold several meets there during the season. A lot of the private schools train there as well. It is also where the Footlocker regionals are held, which rolls up to the Jr. Olympics. Marvin Ridge has a pretty aggressive course on their campus as well.
