[quote=Anonymous]The trail near Roosevelt island is the Potomac Heritage trail.  You can do about 4 miles up and 4 miles back (I've lost the trail up by Chain Bridge), but at times, it is pretty intense trail.  There are a few little areas where you have to cross a stream using rocks, and some areas where you are picking through boulders and have to slow to a walk.  Not many dogs, though.  There's a nice waterfall and the Potomac is visible for much of it.

Roosevelt island itself is a good intro to trail running, but it's short, maybe 1.5 miles around at most.

Burke Lake is awesome for running, but if you're not a Fairfax County resident, you'll pay $10 to get into the park April-October.

One I like is the Glover-Archbold trail.  You pick it up from the Capital Crescent trail just South of Georgetown - you leave the CCT and go through a culvert and come up on Foxhall rd and run under a railroad trestle and there it is.  It's about 2.5 miles from Foxhall to where the trail ends at Van Ness.  From there, you can run on Van Ness to CT avenue and pick up other trails like the Melvin Hazen or another one I'm forgetting.  There are also some trails that branch off the Rock Creek path near the zoo.[/quote]
