Kal-Haven Trail State Park is a 33.5-mile crushed limestone path (former RR bed) connecting South Haven and Kalamazoo. The trail meanders through wooded areas, past farm lands and over rivers and streams. Trail highlights include a camelback bridge and covered bridge. Dating to 1991 and held each year since 2010, the Kal-Haven Trail Run (race) has taken place along the length of the trail.

The Chicago Lakefront Trail is an 18-mile, heavily traveled, multi-use, paved trail along Lake Michigan. It is the annual (since at least 2000) venue for 50 km and 50 mile races, the Chicago Lakefront 50/50.  The course records of these events are probably the best indication of supported "FKTs" for this route.

Wabash Trace Nature Trail is mostly crushed limestone rails-to-trails through southwestern Iowa, running from Council Bluffs on the Nebraska border to Blanchard, Iowa on the Missouri border, approximately 63 miles.
