The Routes: Where We Run
One of the best parts about running with the Suwanee chapter is the incredible location. Group runs usually hit two iconic local sports zones:
- The Town Center Loop: Great for quick speed intervals, easy 3K/5K loops, and warm-up/cool-down stretches on the grassy amphitheater lawn.
- Suwanee Creek Greenway: Smooth, shaded asphalt trails and wooden boardwalks winding through green wetlands—perfect for building endurance away from street traffic.
