If you've challenged yourself to run some of the 5K races in and around Morgantown, WV this year, you'll be looking for places to train. Fortunately, you'll find plenty of parks and running trails that highlight the area's natural beauty and let you see different scenery at each location.

It's located within the city limits of Morgantown and Star City, giving it an urban feel and making it convenient to restaurants, shopping areas, and Morgantown homes for sale. The trail runs through the Hazel Ruby McQuain Riverfront Park, the Edit Barill Park and the West Virginia University Core Arboretum, while providing great views of the Monongahela River. It's good for all skill levels, and if you'd like to bring your dog along on your run, you can, but it must be kept on a leash.
