Jus' Running Route of the Month: Patton Mountain Loop
Running Route
Easy
9.36 mi
1,153 ft
A +9 mile loop that will take you on a 1100ft climb up to Patton Mountain, a dirt road that offers a fantastic view of Merrimon. Park at the Jus’ Running Shop, and head north before taking a quick right onto Farrwood Ave, then another right onto Kimberley. Follow Kimberley as it turns to Edwin Place. When you hit the light, cross Charlotte Street to continue onto Cherokee Rd (it turns into Sunset Drive). Wind your way up Sunset until you hit an intersection with Old Toll Rd. Take a right, and then follow Old Toll Rd until taking a left on Bent Tree Rd, which turns into Crestwood. Follow until you hit the intersection with Town Mountain Road: take Sunset Summit on your immediate left at that intersection. Follow Sunset Summit until you hit the intersection with gravel Patton Mountain Rd on your left (congrats, all the climbing is done!) and enjoy the cruise down Patton Mountain. Once you hit the intersection with N Griffing Blvd, take a right and continue down Griffing until you hit Kimberly Ave. Head South until taking a right onto Farrwood, back where you started!
