As a corporate video producer I sometimes travel for work. In the last quarter of 2016 I made it a goal to explore a new running trail or park wherever I went. I booked my hotels accordingly.
For my first trip, I put out a request for recommendations to the Trail and Ultra Running Facebook group. I would be in Cincinnati for the day (no overnighting because it’s only a day trip from Indy). Mt. Airy Forest quickly came up as a spot to check out.
My client shoot lasted from 10am to 1pm. I then hopped in my car, ate a quick snack while driving, and found myself in the forest a half hour later. I only had a brief time to explore the park, but I’m so glad I did! It’s clear that this forest has so much more to offer than I was able to experience. I will definitely be back here next time I am in Cincy.
If you have a favorite trail in your city let me know what it is in the comments below! I will keep a list of places to check off if I ever find myself in your town.

Cheers and happy running!
