No thanks.

Why?

My daughter isn’t going out running by herself, at least not while she’s living under my roof. Way too many creeps out there.

You are not doing her any favors by not letting her run around her neighborhood on her own. This is an extreme mindset that is more likely to make her incapable of being an independent person. That’s a pretty unhealthy way of thinking. Let your daughter learn some real life skills, like being out alone in her neighborhood, rather than working out in the gym.

Not happening. I am a woman, and was a college distance runner and saw way too many creepy things happen when you venture out running alone.

I agree running alone is dangerous.

What age would you say running alone in a 'safe' neighborhood would be acceptable?

As a family member of cops, never. But that is unrealistic so if they can run during “rush hour” meaning when the neighborhood is active, HS age.

So no before 8am or after 7pm runs. Never run the same route. Have safe places to go if followed.

But people should actually never run alone.

Lol. Oh ok.

Good luck to your daughter.
