We've all heard of Flagstaff, Eugene, Portland, Boulder etc as being some of the best places in the U.S, but what about some of the other places where no major groups train, but could be awesome if people went there? Whether, trails etc...

Good thing they believe in clean sport...
Southern Indiana/Louisville.
The knobs provide quite a few steep hills upwards of 1-2 miles st 10-15% grade.
Knobstone Trail and Jefferson Memorial Forest provide trails for days. City parks of Iroqouis And Cherokee are also hilly gems that provide some trails.
Wheather is typical Midwestern.

Houston is an underrated running Mecca.
Richmond Freakin Virginia.
Park City.
NOP goes to Park City, it's not "underrated"
San luis obispo area
Cedar City, Utah
You can go from 10,000 feet to 2,000 in the span of an hour. with access to 20 degrees warmer weather 35 minutes down the I-15
Santa Cruz/Santa Cruz County, CA
2.5 miles of relatively flat cliff-front paved bike path with 1/4 mile markers.
Nisene Marks Forest (flat dirt roads and single track trails)
Multiple other state and regional parks totally shaded by redwood forest.
San Lorenzo Valley High School's track backs directly up to flat dirt trails and hillier single tracks all under redwoods.
It's pretty hard to beat. No real runners to speak of though besides Brett Gotcher.
Nop, BTC, Japanese elite, and Portuguese all come to park city. Perfect place for "live high" and train low. Though, the cost of living high up in Deer Valley must be through the roof.
+1
1. No snow
2. Trails close by
3. Pick the right neighborhood and you can run on a 30 mile paved trail with dirt shoulder from your house
