2011 Trail Running - Heartland

Our last trail run of 2011 was out on the Heartland mountain bike trails. From Mount Work parking lot, there is an easy wide trail that climbs gently around the north ridge of Mount Work and takes you into the mountain biking area. We ran to the top via Sidewinder and the followed the trails along the upper part of the park to the South End, then back along the bottom. The steepest climb is on the regional trail back up to the ridge as you leave the park. Trails are well marked, but a map of the Mountain Bike Park is a must if you don't want to get lost on the many many winding trails. Easy running as all of the trails are gentle slopes and very soft on the feet.
