What makes a running or walking route particularly enjoyable?
Keeping fit and controlling weight is never easy -- especially when away from your home comfort zone. Most of us feel
unsure where to exercise and what to expect. But, armed with the right route information, exercising on-foot can be
interesting and enjoyable -- it can even be fun!
In Fun on Foot in America's Cities, we analyzed running, jogging, walking environments in 14 major USA cities. We
documented the most enjoyable trails, based on the factors listed above. The cities are Atlanta, Boston, Chicago,
Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and
Washington. We include maps, transport options, commentary on attractions along the route, and we discuss ways to
adapt the routes to your own taste or find other nearby alternative routes.
In Fun on Foot in New England, we applied the same model to our home region, Greater Boston and the New England
states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Places covered include
Cape Cod, Hartford CT, Manchester NH, Portland ME, Portsmouth NH, Providence RI, and Worcester MA.
The Fun on Foot books are targeted at the urban dweller and traveler alike. They have been highly acclaimed. Read
reviews here. Available now in bookstores or buy online.
- A "good" neighborhood; nasty surprises are unlikely;
- Not too many other people and not too few;
- Pretty scenery; interesting sites to pass along the way;
- Minimal disruptions from intersecting auto roads;
- Good underfoot conditions;
- Public transit to start and finish points (leave the car at home);
- A loop route is always more enjoyable than an out-and-back route;
- A suitable place to wind down for a refreshing beverage or snack at the end.
