"Run the Green Mountains."

Vermont's Long Trail, covered bridges, and rolling farm roads make it one of the East's most beloved running destinations. Burlington's waterfront, the Mad River Valley trails, and the classic Green Mountain ridge running are waiting.

"Miles High, Miles Wide."

Colorado is where runners come to test themselves. Boulder's Chautauqua trails, the Rockies' high-altitude roads, and a trail running culture that goes back generations. Thin air, big views, serious mileage.

"Run Where the Desert Meets the Sky."

From the red rock trails of Sedona to the saguaro-lined roads of Tucson, Arizona offers year-round running with a landscape unlike anywhere else. Cool desert mornings, mountain escapes, and some of the most dramatic scenery in the country.

"Southern Roads, Serious Runners."

Georgia's running scene punches well above its weight — from Atlanta's thriving club culture to the Blue Ridge trails of the north Georgia mountains. Mild winters mean year-round outdoor running, and the community is as welcoming as the weather.

"Run Where the Mountains Meet the Sound."

Washington state is a runner's paradise — from the trails of Mount Rainier to the waterfront paths of Seattle, the Cascade ridges, and the rolling Palouse. Pacific Northwest running culture is serious, welcoming, and deeply tied to the outdoors.

"Land of Enchantment, Miles of Running."

New Mexico is one of the most underrated running states in the country. High-altitude roads, ancient pueblo trails, the Sandia Mountains above Albuquerque, and Santa Fe's world-class trail network make this a destination runners return to again and again.

"Coast, forest, and endless miles."

From the dramatic Pacific coastline to the lush forests of the Cascades, Oregon offers some of the most scenic running in the country.
