I enjoyed this route along the Papillion Creek! I was in town as part of a long road trip and decided to give it a go. I ran / walked really easy keeping my HR in my Zone 1, so it'll be very easy to beat this time. I'm already planning another road trip and will try to fit this in again, and run it much faster next time. Lots of others on the paved concrete trail. Runners, walkers, cyclists.

Heads up, one of the bridges over Papillion Creek has been removed and replaced with a new bridge about 100 yards to the south, so the exact GPS route can no longer be followed. The route should not be traversing grass, so as long as you stay on concrete you'll find the right bridge to cross the creek.

All the March construction in multiple places on this route has been finished so the path is free and clear the entire way.
