Nashville Trails (Read 50 times)

I am going to be in Nashville for three days and I'll be staying right by the State Capitol. I see there is a Cumberland River Greenway on that side of the river that appears to be a few miles long but I also see a system a little bit east that includes Shelby Bottoms, Two Rivers and Stones River Trails. I don't know my way around town and whether any of these areas have much crime etc. I'll probably be shooting for 30 miles over the course of three runs while I am there but I need to leave on foot from the hotel (no driving).

Thoughts?

You can get to Shelby Bottoms from the capitol/downtown area.  It involves crossing the river over to Nissan Stadium (football stadium) and running on a connector road over to Shelby. That will connect you up to Two Rivers, too, after you run out the Shelby path.  People do it all the time. You can also stay on your side of the river and run north on the greenway.  It goes a few miles to MetroCenter.  It's not a bad run.  You could get 5 or 6 miles out of that run.

30 miles over the course of three runs 

Get it all out of the way at once. I'd suggest running three loops of Percy Warner Park's 11.2. It will be easy.

Almost like not running.
