The 3.4-mile Lansing Center Trail course offers a sense of what classic cross-country running is like, with grassy fields and loops. The numerous loops will make your first effort here a bit slow, as you figure out the turns, but Lansing has posted numerous trail maps, and you’re essentially just going around each field loop in succession.
For post-run food right near the course, check out the Crossroads Bar & Grille for lunch and dinner options, Scoops for afternoon ice cream, and Salt Point Brewing for evening refreshments and libations. Also nearby are the Lansing Pizzeria and Dunkin’.
