Freedom Park Running Route

Freedom Park is a long, linear park that stretches through Poncey-Highland, Candler Park and Inman Park. The Park Mile route uses the paved Freedom Park Trail for 3.8 miles of rolling, tree-lined running.

The route

• Distance: 3.8 miles on the Freedom Park Trail.
• Terrain: paved multi-use path with steady rollers.
• Connections: the trail links toward the Carter Center and the BeltLine, so it's easy to build a longer run.

Tips

• It's a shared path — keep right and watch for cyclists.
• Several road crossings; take them carefully.
• Pair it with the Candler Park route for a two-medal morning.
