You pretty much have to go North-South or vice versa. There are no roads for the most part in the northern/western locations.

I actually did run across Connecticut once, a northeast to southwest route. It was before there were any casinos in the state.
How about that little quirk of land in Kentucky called the Kentucky Bend, or Bubbleland, formed by the hairpin turn of the Mississippi River. Can anyone figure out how far it is across?

Kentucky is a Commonwealth and not a state.
My bad, I retract.
New Jersey coastline, fist-pumping
PCT Oregon.

This would be the shortest bit. From Ohio to Pennsylvania would just be an actual long run for mod people.

Same, but northwest to southeast. None of that north to south or west to east nonsense.

Roads are for amateurs.
California in length. So much diversity in the environment
Somewhere flat, scenic and with a temperate climate.
Maryland from Hancock to the PA border - easy 5 miler round trip.
Definitely Delaware; narrow and FLAT. It is the US State with the lowest highest point.
At its narrowest point Delaware measures roughly 9 miles - So that seems very reasonable. If you wanted to get in a few more miles you could run on a path adjacent to the canal at which point the width is close to a half-marathon in distance.
So you've got top of the line aide/recovery vehicles to follow you around for free, and you choose the shortest route you can think of? I'm guessing you didn't think that one through!
I'd go Alaska too, make the most of the opportunity to get some serious running in.
North Carolina. Beautiful mountains in the west, down through the piedmont to the coastal plain. Finish it off with a dip in the ocean.
I'd start at any state border, run a few meters into the state turn around and run back to the border a few meters away from where I started. That's a run through the entire state.
Please define "through the entire state" if you want better answers.
Because of a weird feature in the northern border of Connecticut called the Granby Notch, you can actually be in Connecticut, run straight for about 3 miles across Massachusetts, and then be back in Connecticut again. That qualifies as running across a state, sort of.
