So you enjoyed the weekend, with its beautiful weather and tons a great activities. Maybe you had a little bit too much fun at Final Friday, and you need to make up for it by getting a good workout in on your Monday afternoon. Allow me to help.
If you’re a runner, why not consider this nice 5 mile route that will take you from downtown to Mt. Adams, over to Newport and Covington, down past the stadiums, and back up thru downtown to finish in OTR. Sounds like fun eh? It’s certainly more fun than running around the streets of your subdivision looking at the same houses…..
If you’re interested I’ll be doing this route this afternoon. A little warm up run will take me from my house to the top of the pedestrian bridge that spans I-71 (connects Van Meter St. in Mt. Adams and Court Street by the Greyhound Station, and is the banner image of the site). I’ll be leaving the top of the bridge (Van Meter and Warhem) at 6:30 pm. Drop me a line in the comments or meet there a little before 6:30 if you want to join me.
Be warned I use stairs, benches, and other manmade obstacles to make this more than a normal run 
I am new to running so I am more of a walk/runner. But I have found running along the river parks to be fantastic. No need to worry about traffic. Plus pleasant views of the river. Especially during morning sunrises. I usually start out at 3rd and Central. Go around Paul Brown Stadium then make my way along the river through Sawyer Point past the boat house and return through the end of Friendship park. It is about 5 miles round trip and only a few street crossings.
I definitely agree that running the river parks are great! I love crossing back and forth over the Ohio River too, it makes me feel accomplished.
