I am looking for suggestions (roads, trails, parks, scenic areas) for running. I work in the city during the week. I am based out of NYC, so I am new to this area.
Last night I met with the Local running store runners and ran around town.
If you work uptown, consider the Elmwood cemetary. I run it on my lunch break a couple of times a week. They have nice variety of roads to allow you to do different distances easily.
The Morehead YMCA aka Dowd YMCA does have a lot of running groups in both the am and pm. People meet outside if you want to give it a try if you don't have a y membership. The Common Market in the plaza midwood area-just off of Thomas Street is another popular place. I think they have a couple runs listed on meetup.
If you want to get off pavement, the McAlpine Greenway Park in South Charlotte off of Monroe Road near Matthews has a really nice 5K trail that is all grass and clay. They have hosted many HS cross country championships. It's nice option if you ever need get off the pavement for a while.
