It gives you an opportunity to see the area at ground-level, it grants you an insider&#8217;s take on the sights, smells and sounds of a city, and finally it helps keep you active and upbeat for the rest of your vacation. Many running clubs also offer pairings with post-run restaurants and bars, giving you a great way to work up an appetite for your trip.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some running routes worth traveling for. From looping around the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/White-House-Washington.d503261.Vacation-Attraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">White House<\/a>, to traversing desert sandstone cliffs, these are some of the best running trails to take this year.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Washington.dx178318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington D.C<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Often ranked as the nation&#8217;s fittest city, Washington is a perfect spot for runners. The capital is a maze of endless trails giving you ample opportunity to pad out your miles. The city also has plenty of sponsored races for those looking to add a weekend competition to their trip.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/washington-dc-running-trails.jpg\" alt=\"running trails washington\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A popular route starts at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/National-Mall-Washington.d507500.Vacation-Attraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Mal<\/a>l before breaking out to the White House and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Jefferson-Memorial-Southwest.d503266.Vacation-Attraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jefferson Memorial<\/a>. But an all-time city favorite is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Rock-Creek-Park-Northwest.d507507.Vacation-Attraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rock Creek Park<\/a>. The park is a quiet oasis in the heart of the busy city. There are sheltered trails and bike paths as well as the ruins of the original Capitol buildings hidden in the woods.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Minneapolis-St-Paul.dx178287\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minneapolis &#8211; St. Paul<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The Twin Cities of Minnesota are consistently rated as some of the best running cities in the country. And for residents, it&#8217;s not hard to see why. The city was built with green spaces and fitness in mind. Trails intersect through each part of the city, making it easy to add a run to your day, even from the downtown. Winters are tough in the Twin Cities, but even there they have you covered.

And yet, the running community of NYC is convinced the Big Apple is one of the best cities for running. As bad as the concrete jungle might get, New Yorkers can always retreat to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Central-Park-New-York.d6056463.Vacation-Attraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Central Park<\/a> for an uninterrupted six miles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/new-york-city-running.jpg\" alt=\"new york city running\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also always running along the bridges.

While the trail technically runs from Ballard to Bothell, it can be extended to include the whole lake. Of course, that might require a bicycle. For a more manageable loop, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Green-Lake-Park-Seattle.d507493.Vacation-Attraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green Lake Park<\/a> for a nicely paved 3 mile loop.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/Boston.dx178239\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boston<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>One of the nation&#8217;s most historic cities is also one of its best running cities.
