As a resident of Los Angeles, Gary Fournier has opportunities to enjoy the city’s many running routes. According to experts from LA Weekly and DiscoverLosAngeles.com, some of the best of these routes include:

Those reaching the apex of the hilly trail will have the opportunity to take in stunning views of Los Angeles, including the famous Hollywood sign.
- The Rose Bowl Loop. A paved path that circles Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, the Rose Bowl Loop holds distinction as the most popular of the 22 trails in the Arroyo Seco. Runners on the approximately three-mile loop benefit from colored pavement markings that help to keep them separate from cyclists and motorists.
- The West Loop at Elysian Park. Located in the city’s second-largest park, the West Loop offers picturesque views of downtown Los Angeles and the neighboring San Fernando Valley. Though short, the 2.4-mile route allows runners who are looking for a longer workout to branch off onto a number of other trails.
