We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Friars Creek Trail #2 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 Friars Creek Trail #2

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a great new walking trail that begins (or ends) on 5th Street across Temple College (where the new pedestrian crossing light is) and continues to nearly Scott and White. The trail is under one mile but very enjoyable to walk.
