You are able to find the right trail by filtering: type of trail, loop or one way, length & difficulty. The first 20 trails are catered primarily for beginners and intermediate runners and adopted the trails for this segment.

Each trail includes photos, stats flyover video and a description that includes everything you need to know what to expect on this trail. You will also find information on how to get there alongside a Google Maps link. Please use public transport whenever possible.
