A couple quick trail running videos to inspire...

First, "The Love of Running" by Walter Edwards:




I just wish it weren't all in black-and-white...I guess it's cool and "vintage" and all, or whatever...but I want to see what those trails look like! A huge part of the reason I love trail running is the colorful scenery!

And one more short one--"The Lightest Step" by Bengt Säll:



Nice shots of the trails--and also the shoes. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a Salomon commercial promoting the S-Lab. By the way--check out Bengt's website. He has some pretty sick photos and such other things.

Fayetteville Trail

Distance: 3.96 miles from end to end (out-and-back = 7.92 miles)
Difficulty Rating: Strenuous

Fayetteville Trail is one of those trails with one end at the top of the rim and the other end down near the river. With one side starting at Kaymoor Top (1950 ft.) and the other dumping into Fayette Station Road (1125 ft.), the net change in elevation is about 825 feet. Steep hills and varying plant communities keep it an engaging workout, both physically and visually. Fayetteville Trail intersects New River Bridge Trail, Park Loop Trail, Timber Ridge Trail, and Long Point Trail.
