Waterfront Trail: Veteran's Point to Harbourfront Centre (ON, Canada)
This route follows the Waterfront Trail in Ontario from Veteran's Point in Ajax Waterfront Park (specifically, the Veteran's Point parking lot), to the Harbourfront Centre (specifically, HTO Beach, 43.63798degN, 79.38745degW) in Toronto. The Waterfront Trail stretches for hundreds of km across Ontario. This particular stretch is one of the most popular. It combines paved trail, dirt trail, boardwalk, and road. This route is absolutely BREATHTAKING. There are relatively few trail FKT routes in the Greater Toronto Area, which has a large running community.

Central Wasatch Cross-Canyon Ramble (UT)
This route connects major canyons of the central Wasatch via some of the area’s most interesting features (e.g. South Ridge of Mount Superior, Wildcat Ridge), stunning views (from the summit of American Fork Twin Peak, Lake Blanche), and charming nooks (Neff’s Spring). No doubt many similar lines have been drawn; this one stands out as one of the more enjoyable and beautiful outings I’ve experienced in the Wasatch.

Cut Foot Sioux National Recreation Trail (MN)
The Cut Foot Sioux National Recreation Trail is a lightly used loop through red and white pines in north central Minnesota, 30 miles northwest of Grand Rapids. It is more popular with equestrian users but is also open for hiking, cross country-skiing and mountain biking. Online information is pretty sparse but estimates for mileage show up as 18, 22, and 24. My watch gave me 25 miles with 1000 feet of gain.
