Confirmed from The Jim Reed Walking & Jogging Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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.
Kid-friendly area with a crushed-rock walking trail and exercise stations, as well as deer.
What runners say about The Jim Reed Walking & Jogging Trail
“Great trail to walk and run.”
“My only issue is that there is virtually no shade at all on the trail.”
This is an easy peasy walking/jogging trail in the Medical Center area with no incline, and a mixture of paved and gravel trails (the gravel is not rough gravel). There’s also outdoor workout stations along the trail (see photos). The trail is a loop and you can get a quick 2.2 miles here.
Nice private/public park complete with crushed rock walking trail. The trail eventually converges with a path that leads into the medical area. Three manual stretching stations are found around the walking trail which is approximately 1 mile(ish).
Well, this trail is good for only Walker and Runner, only not recommended for kids because of dirt trails
Good trail. It's been raining for a couple days now and the trail is clear and dry (except for one *small* area of mud that was easy to get around). My only issue is that there is virtually no shade at all on the trail. So, if you need a break from running/jogging, it's gonna be in full sun.
