We sure do! Philadelphia and the surrounding area have a wide variety of both runnable and challenging (technical) trails that are super fun for people of all skill levels to explore. I like discovering all the trails and creative routes people run in our area (including Reading, Lancaster, Southeast PA, NJ, DE) so I created the Philly Trail Runners group on Strava.
Tired of doing the Yellow Trail on the Wiss every week? How about doing the Yellow Trail in Ridley Creek State Park? Looking for a shady and scenic trail with some cool history? How about the The Boxers’ Trail in Fairmount Park? Don’t get stuck in a rut, explore new routes and meet new inspiring people.
Stay hydrated! Jeff Lyons
