Went to the 10 mile clay loop. It sucks!

Is this in reference to running in Orlando? I read that thread and I don't know why. I live in Ohio. We don't have red clay here.

Sad to hear that. Maybe the next time it gets graded, it will be better.

I drove it to scope it out before. I had to go 10mph and it was still incredibly uncomfortable. There were people running faster. My car was shaking so bad it probably needs an alignment now. Much worse than cobblestone or brick.

Well, I still have my trip planned in July. I'll check it out and report back. I already found two other great trails thanks to some former teammates living in the area.

Not sure where you’re coming from, but that loop is brutal in July. Literally no shade on the loop other than one tree at the 7 mile mark or so that provides shade on the road for less than 50 meters.

Make sure to get there for sunrise, or you’ll be paying a heavy toll depending on where you’re from. Even then, it will be in the low to mid 70s with a few point only a couple of degrees lower. Add on direct sun and it isn’t for the feint of heart.

OP, it’s definitely sandy out there, and the mini-dunes aren’t a ton of fun, but it’s pretty and it’s really one of the few places to get any hills if you live around here.
