Relocatin g to Raleigh

Hello all! I'm new toany time of distance running (outside of the gym) - recovering from a couple injuries. I'm relocating to Raleigh. I also just committed to the Disney Half-Marthon in January. My move will most likely be late August. So, I can stay on track with a treadmill. My concern is starting the actual training up to the half-marathon. Can anyone give me ideas/suggestions of places to run? (I'll be living close to downtown.)

There is a marathon/half-marathon training program starting in August. It is for all paces. Check it out:

Two local running stores that have group runs:
Inside Out Sports
Fleet Feet (opening soon in Raleigh)

Good luck and welcome to Raleigh!

Re: Relocatin g to Raleigh
There is a great greenway in Raleigh. One good starting point for the greenway is at Shelley Lake. The greenways are pretty safe, but I would not recommend a female running alone except for the most crowed of times.

We also have Umstead State Park, but that is a pretty hilly area to run in. There are packed gravel bridal trails (meaning they are a good 10' wide).

Good luck and welcome (soon) to Raleigh.
