Near the Whitehall/Reynoldberg area.
Preferrably at some sort of park with a decent pathway to do 8-12 miles.

Ill be in that area thsi weekend and need to get some miles in for my half training coming up.

Thanks.

If you're going through Whitehall you might want to run fast.

Alum creek trail is nice east of Whitehall. About 6 miles one way.

Is it a good trail? Pretty even and not many obstacles?

It's generally right along Alum Creek, so it's flat and winds through the trees, etc. As I remember you have to cross a couple of streets at grade, but it's a good place to run.

If you head out to New Albany they have several very nicely paved and well-used paths that run through downtown and around the country club. Pretty nice place to trot a few miles.

That is where I ended up going. Lady at the hotel suggested it. Was pretty nice....a little short tho and I hate to double back and such but it was nice to get to run in a new area.
