Tampa - Clearwater - St. Petersburg (and in between!)
Here's some of my favorite trails to run in the Tampa Bay!
The Green Swamp - West Tract
Green Swamp Wildlife Management Area (WMA) consists of 50,692 acres in Pasco, Lake, Polk and Sumter counties. Green Swamp is a critical recharge area for the Floridian aquifer as well as the source of the Hillsborough, Withlacoochee, Ocklawaha and Peace rivers. This Wildlife Management Area replenishes the Floridan aquifer system, the primary source of drinking water for most Floridians. Because the Green Swamp region is elevated above outlying areas and the underground aquifer rises very close to the land surface, the region functions as the pressure head for the aquifer. Also, more than 300 wildlife species can be found, including 30 on the threatened or endangered lists.
You've got the Berm, the Florida Trail, and so many other awesome areas. Below are some GPX files for the Skunk Ape Night Run/Revenge course and the Wild Boar Night Run. Also is a nice point-to-point route from the West Tract to the Richloam Fire Tower and another point-to-point route from the GS West Tract to Tucker Hill in Croom.
