Hi Everyone, I'm visiting family in Florida this weekend, Sarasota area. Are there any trails to run on nearby? Looking to get in 10-15 miles, but would prefer not all on pavement!
Thanks for the help!

My folks live down there in the Winter; not too many good miles in my experience to be had, even for shorter runs. I have heard Myakka State Park is good, I checked out the trail map and there seems to be plenty of mileage there, but it's a bit of a drive from where they live.
I usually end up running on golf courses in evening after the golfers have gone in... you may end up doing endless loops, but it's soft and you probably will have a decently even surface. Good luck!
a little bit south is oscar shear state park. There are a bunch of loops to run. I think the bigtgest is 5 miles. It can get dry at times and when it is dry the sand is sugar sand in parts.
There's a rail trail too, about three or four miles from the water.
