Road running– If your pleasure is running on a beautiful stretch of road, then we are here to introduce you to the Summit County Recreational Pathway. This 55-mile long network of paved paths extends throughout Summit County to the neighboring communities of Breckenridge, Dillon and Silverthorne. This path network is open to diverse, non-motorized uses such as biking, running and walking so expect and respect other users. And the network even connects to many more miles of paved pathways in Vail/Eagle County.
Trail running– You are definitely in the right place if you like to stretch your legs dirt including gorgeous single track and old mining roads. Frisco is surrounded on 3 sides by National Forest (75% of Summit County is public land) and trails which are great to hike and mountain bike are also great for trail running.
