challenging skyline sprint, these handpicked routes let you move at your own pace.
Each one begins at our doorstep and includes estimated durations, suggested stops,
and optional ways to return, just in case your feet call it a day.

Hit Your Stride in the Urban Landscape
Skyscraper Sprint: 1.7 miles | HIIT-style | Advanced
Route: The Biltmore > Bunker Hill > California Plaza > Financial District >
Repeat hill intervals
Why Run It: Designed for those chasing lactic acid. Use Bunker Hill’s incline as your
natural treadmill and build in walking recoveries between each climb. Add stairs at Library
Tower for a bonus burn.

Pro Tip: Try four hill repeats for a complete session. Finish at Grand Hope Park for stretches
under the shade.
5K Historic Challenge: 3.1 miles | Mixed terrain | Intermediate
Route: The Biltmore > Spring Street > Broadway > 2nd Street Tunne > Grand Park Stair

Why Run It: For runners who want a scenic sweat. Dash through the vintage banks and old
theaters of Spring Street, then test your tempo in the cinematic 2nd Street Tunnel. Finish with
a stair challenge at Grand Park’s upper tier.
Highlights: Iconic filming locations, built-in intervals, and sprint-worthy straights.
Best Time: Post-sunrise but pre-commute (6:30 – 8am).
