Such a hard place to run. I feel like I'm gonna get run over everywhere I go. Plus, no mountains?? WTF?

You always seemed like a pussy and a half.
Drive over to Fort Mill HS in SC; right across the state line. Great trails, a ton of them too.
yeah, Ann Springs Close trails in Fort Mill are great. go toward Rock Hill and take the exit after Knights Stadium. There are also some trails around Lake Wylie.
Stop complaining. You can do some decent loops around the Lake Park neighborhood and not get run over. What more do you want?
Why have we become such a nation of high maintenance runners? How sad.

I have to go with the consensus on this one: you sir are lame, and a whiner to boot.
Given that people have had success by filling their bathtub with wet towels and jogging in place, I think you can handle a lack of scenery.
I was shocked to see my hometown as the title of a thread. I can imagine how running there now is awful...when I was in high school (~10 yrs ago), the running was starting to get bad because they were putting up McMansion neighborhoods all over the place. I went to SVHS, which used to have some decent trails nearby...but it is all neighborhood now.
Whenever I head home I almost always run at McAlpine or Francis Beatty Park (which has very little good running).
But hey, crappy running is just the price you have to pay to live in such a wonderful place.
My Cousins live in Indian Trail. Its brutal with traffic and flat. My advice, go to the McAlpine around there. Just make the drive.
McMansions! Haha. I haven't heard that one.
The ASC Greenway in Fort Mill is better than McAlpine by far! Miles and miles of trails.
Coach Ford,
I haven't been to the ASC Greenway yet but am considering it for some of my long runs. How hilly is it?
MTH
Also how are the trails. Rocky, rooty(?), smooth?
And finally are there any milege markers?
Thanks,
MTH
There are sections that are quite hilly, rooty and rocky but very runable. Overall, these trails really are great for running. There is a small lake on the property that I run around a lot. It's about 1.5 miles. If you go to Hwy. 160 I think it is, go toward FM and take a left at the Peach Stand store you will see the entrance. You'll see restrooms, the lake and as many miles of trails as you could need.
Dude, you are a pansy. Are trails rocky or rooty? Of course, they are trails.
What do you want a manicured trail with 400m markers?
Go run, your heart doesn't care where you do it, either do your muscles, they will adapt.
Indian Trail is an awesome place...
I go for runs in the bonterra neighborhood usually. Yea traffic sucks because there is no sidewalks but you can make it work. Francis beaty park is just down the road as well and that place has some trails to run.
I didn't know there were so many Union County, NC people on here...good to see...While Indian Trail is lacking with places to run, there are the aforementioned places that are great...Anyone from Union County think that the Sun Valley Coach has done a good job of trying to get himself fired with his recent comments? I always knew there was something off with him, its about time his true colors show through...
It's hard to like such a monotonous place when you come from a place as beautiful as the West where the scenery is always changing. Plus, we apparently have invented the concept of a shoulder on the roads and implemented it into our infrastructure.
stop pretending like your a distance runner

I'm not a distance runner. Never said I was. Definitely an MD guy, they just make me do cross.
