Community Center Course – https://goo.gl/maps/Kc1vdpmiUihiBKD98
Got a need for speed? This flat course, half on neighborhood streets and half on the W&OD, with limited major street crossings will give you a chance to really rev up the engines. Starting across from the Vienna Community Center, you’ll quickly leave the busy Park St. for the less trafficked Glyndon St. Before you know it, you’ll be at Cedar Ln, looking towards the bike path for your return trip back to the Community Center.

Caboose Course – https://goo.gl/maps/UPaxm3n5n6S9CrVu9
Are you tired of those flat, straight, and boring out and back runs on the bike path? Wish you could get trails, hills, and variety with the convenience of a W&OD parking lot? Well then, this ‘popsicle’ route, starting at the Vienna Caboose is for you. Even with over a mile on the bike path, this route will be a true test of the legs. After a quick warm up, you will wind up through Northside Park and quite neighborhood streets before heading back down over dirt trails to the W&OD and back to the Caboose.

Nottoway Course - https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/fri-02-apr-2021-21-53-f6e0664
This ‘Cross Country’ course at Nottoway Park will have something for everyone. Smooth paved paths, a run around a pond, dirt trails, bathrooms, and even fitness equipment if you’re looking for an extra challenge. Take extreme caution crossing Virginia Center Blvd (twice) and be on the lookout for Firefly turn signs as not all turns are obvious. Overall a great course for people with a sense of adventure.
