The Katy Trail

The Katy Trail

The historic Katy Trail’s 3.5-mile route is a prime designation for runners of all levels, offering picturesque views and welcome shady spots that make any morning, afternoon, or evening run a pleasant experience.

Trinity Strand Trail

Trinity Strand Trail

Head to the Design District to take advantage of the Trinity Strand Trail, Dallas’ much quieter and more underrated trails. The 2.5-miler cuts through area restaurants, businesses, and breweries – perfect for a post-run refuel.

Santa Fe Trail

Santa Fe Trail

Another tucked away route, the Santa Fe Trail begins in Deep Ellum and travels through East Dallas. The serene and oft underpopulated trail is the perfect locale to get away and enjoy sweet solitude.

White Rock Lake Trail

White Rock Lake Trail

White Rock Lake Trail wins the award for being one of the longer and more exhaustive (did we say exhaustive? We also mean exhausting) trails. Hit this beloved 9.5-mile loop to feel like a champion on those longer running days.

Trinity Skyline Trail

Trinity Skyline Trail

What could be more iconic and quintessential “Dallas” than Trinity Skyline Trail’s view of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge? The camera-ready route passes the Design District, Trinity Groves, and Downtown, making this the ultimate urban hotspot.
