I just found out that I'm going to be working in Phoenix for the next few months and am completely new to the area. Can anyone recommend any running routes or areas to run in the Biltmore area? I believe my hotel will be close to the Town and Country Shopping Center and Camelback Colonnade. Any advice/suggestions are appreciated!
The loop starting at the Biltmore itself that goes through the neighborhood is two miles. There is also a path on the canal at the hotel. It is best to head east on it and you can go quite a distance. If you go west you run into some obstacles. Also call Runner's Den and ask for Craig and he'll give you some other ideas, especially the Saturday morning run that they take from the Borgota.
try not to.
Go to South Mountain Park for some cool trails!

Or, the Dreamy Draw Park has trails too--- probably closer to you.
do a search of the site, there are probably 20 threads related to your question. BTW the main canal that the locals run on is not very far from there.
