Real soon I'm moving near Greenville, South Carolina. I want to find some good places to run, especially trails, rail trails, and other soft surface running routes.
By the way, I'll be working between Clemson and Greenville, so anywhere in that area would be a good place to run.
Can anyone give me advice on good places to run there?
Are there still Run-In and Fleet Feet stores in Greenville?
Just go to Furman.
Furman
Thanks for the Furman tip.
I found another recent thread on the Greenville area, too.
what the heck are you working on, a farm?
Yeah, there are still Run In and Fleet Feet in Greenville (Run In's the place to go).
If you don't mind the drive, Dupont State Forest just over the state line in NC is spectacular running, if a little hilly. I have one route there where you run past 4 waterfalls in 70 minutes. Beautiful country.

feck, it would have been nice to know that 5 years ago. I'm going there this weekend.
its still in the 60's and 70's.
Any idea where you'll be living once you're here? I moved here about 8 months ago and bought a house near Furman off of New Roe Ford Rd. Training on this side of Greenville is great, lots of empty roads save the occasional poorly-muffled truck. My only difficulty so far is trying to match up with a training group; there's plenty of other people running, but I need to find more around that 3:00 marathon/37 min. 10k level to do longer runs with.
Run In just opened an outlet across the street from their main store, lots of good deals - I ended up with a pair of Zoom Katana 4's for $50 this weekend.
E-mail me if you have any questions.
