Indoors or Out - Great Running at the YWCA

Easy Access to the Great Outdoors!
The Twin Cities has fantastic running and has been ranked by Runners World magazine as high as second in the country for running. And the YWCA of Minneapolis' three sites taps some of the best running the Twin Cities has to offer. Midtown has easy access to the Greenway path leading to the Mississippi River Road trails or Uptown, Uptown is right on the Greenway and only a couple blocks from Lake of the Isles and Lake Calhoun, and Downtown quickly gets you out of the city through Loring Park to the Cedar Lake-Kenilworth trail.
