    The canal tow path is great for running. I’ve run multiple races at different parts, more in the city and also like this in the suburbs. It’s not crowded even for bigger races, and this more of a smaller race. What makes is special is the waterfront view the whole way, or, if blocked by trees then the foliage view. It’s flat and easy — not a hard concrete path and also fewer risks than on trails. I would not turn down a race in this venue. The weather was typical of winter in the region: literally just above or below freezing, but right at about that point.
