Where is the best place on PEI to go on a run?
Hello Anne,
Thank you for reaching out! In Prince Edward Island, the Confederation Trail is great for walking or running. It runs tip-to-tip across the Island and is best explored on foot or bicycle. Built on the decommissioned railway line, the main trail is 273 kilometres from west to east - Tignish to Elmira. It also has branch trails that run through small towns and communities, including the heart of Charlottetown. The gradients along this rolled stone dust trail never exceed two per cent, making it suitable for all fitness levels.
If you're looking for a paved pathway, I would suggest the Prince Edward Island National Park. There you will find Gulf Shore Way East: 10 km one way and Gulf Shore Way West: 8.5 km one way.
Visit Hiking and Walking Trails for even more options!
Enjoy your run.
