Best Running Route
39th Street through Roanoke Park to Liberty Memorial
To begin this out-and-back jaunt, park on 39th near any of its restaurants. Jog west to Wyoming and turn north to wind through the spectacular Roanoke Park. For a good quarter mile, the city seems to disappear, and runners feel enclosed by a forest. The route peaks briefly at the corner of 32nd and Southwest Trafficway, where runners get a tiny taste of the view to come. Then it's through Penn Valley Park, past the geometro-spectacular BMA Building and the brooding statues and across Broadway (be careful!) and up another hill to the big payoff: an eye-watering view of downtown from Liberty Memorial. Jog in place, then huff all the way back for a meal at one of the great restaurants near your car.
