St. Louis, Missouri is home to the famous Gateway Arch, Cardinal’s baseball, and Ram’s football. St. Louis is an amazing city and I totally recommend a visit if you have never done so. It also offers several great running and bicycle trails as well. Below are the best and safest places to run in the St. Louis area.
Best Places to Run in St. Louis
- Riverfront Trail: Runs eleven miles from the Gateway Arch to Riverfront Park in North St. Louis. The trail is accompanied by great sight seeing and a pleasant atmosphere.
