Watch Trail Running Video Below
You know when you see a sign that says "don't do it" something in the back of my head says "why". And not that I encourage this, but I have always been an EXPLORER. I have never questioned anything just to be a smart ass or anything, but I just always "wondered" what if?
So I went to this amazing place called Balm Boyette Scrub Preserve which is located just outside of Brandon, Florida. I have been to this place many times before when I used to ride mountain bikes every week, but this time was different, I went to this trail to RUN, not to bike.
Most of the trails are primarily for mountain bikes, well at least the good ones are. There are boring double tracks, and if you are just a simple runner, and you really don't care about elevation changes, then that might do it for you. As for me, I enjoy running obstacle course races, I love running the mountains, I like going up and down =) because frankly, we just don't have mountains in Florida.
So this is what happens when the sign says "no foot traffic on mountain bike trails". I did it anyways! Keep in mind, if you run the trails during the week, there aren't a lot of mountain bikers out, so I definitely don't recommend doing this on the weekends because it could be a huge disaster, just be smart. Oh, and you didn't hear it from me! ha ha
Trail Running the North and South Abyss Trails
FYI, it takes about 2 miles before you hit the first actual trail. I ran a 5K to get to the North and South Abyss Trails, then had to run back (9 miles total for the day). I highly recommend that you bring some snacks with you and some water. I used Beachbody Performance Hydrate to stay hydrated and keep me energized, you can get samples of the Beachbody Performance Line here.
