We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Elder's Run Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Elder's Run Trail
This is a short over the mountain and down the other side type of trail. Almost no flat walking, always a moderate to hard grade. Did not go to the end but hiked to the remains of the cabin partially back the trail.
