Where it starts

Ellison Park. Open the start in Maps. It is a loop, so you finish where you begin.

How we picked it

318 loops passed our quality checks (a real loop, the right distance, no backtracking, U-turns or street-grid zigzags). We measured each one’s hills, then picked the wall: the biggest single climb. 88 of those were ordinary, unsteered loops, and that is the group this route is ranked against.

Routes follow Google walking directions. Check closures, crossings and daylight before you run.
