Alabama city named among best running towns in the country
There are a lot of beautiful places in the United States to go for a run, and an Alabama city was recently named one of the best running towns in the country.
The city of Huntsville garnered a spot on Run.com’s list of “America’s Best Trail Running Towns” thanks to its large trail systems that offer a wide range in difficulty as well as its active running community.
Among the runs named as the best were the 6.4-mile Mountain Mist Loop, the 2.5-mile North Plateau Loop and the 3.3-mile South Plateau Loop within Monte Sano State Park, due to their mix of terrain and scenic views. Several local races, like the Mountain Mist 50K and the McKay Hollow Madness 25K/12K were mentioned as standouts for runners looking for a challenge.
Other cities that made the list include Flagstaff, Ariz., Boulder, Colo., Roanoke, Va., and more.
