Long-Run Trails (5+ Miles) in Minnesota

Minnesota has 28 trails with long-run distance (5+ miles) in this directory, across 23 cities and towns — Maple Grove, Prior Lake, Rogers, St Paul and 19 more. Five miles or more of continuous trail — enough to build a real long run on.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
