We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of UWF Cross Country Trails 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 UWF Cross Country Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (8 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I brought my family here yesterday and we were very happy with the walk. It was just about 3 miles around the whole thing. Our kids had a lot of fun exploring and looking for bugs. Everything is marked really well so you know where you're going.

★★★★★ — Steven , Oct 2023

Absolutely beautiful trails. Wide walking paths. Many trees and few sounds from life outside the woods. You could still mildly hear traffic in some areas. I took my elderly dog on her last walk through there in her stroller.

★★★★★ — Kristen , Oct 2025

I have the great opportunity to run on these trails all the time and I love the fact that there are not many roots you can trip on! Great hills for training. Be careful of yellow flies in the summer.
