Visiting Houston recently I was reminded how great our trail system is here in Gilbert! You can run for EVER without running along a road(you have to cross one every mile or so). We are very lucky here to have this system. Use Mapmyrun to find specific trails and runs of different length.

This is a great thing that the town of Gilbert has invested in. There are seemingly endless miles of trail for everyone to use for many different purposes. There are different surfaces in different areas such as sidewalks, pavement, and dirt.

Gilbert’s central trail system offers 135 miles of trails for walking, running, biking, and horseback riding. There are 40 mi. of equestrian trails, 54 miles of marked bike trails, and the rest are unmarked multi-use trails. Trails generally follow along the canals, but there are also several miles of non-canal trails fllowing utility corridors and washes. The«master plan» is that the trail system will encourage pedestrians, that children would be able to safely bicycle to and from parks and adults could buy groceries or visit friends without driving. But that vision is still a ways into the future. Meanwhile, use the trails to get out and enjoy the famous Arizona sunshine.
