The Best of the Best

Running is unlike any other sport out there. There is no field/indoor court/equipment involved. (of course a nice pair of sneaks of course). Running is not weather dependent, and does not require much when you really think about it. A few things are appreciated when running in the outdoors: temperate climate; abundant routes, tracks, and trails; vibrant local running and racing scene; etc. Recently, there was a poll of U.S. cities rich in these qualities and granted the top 15 best cities to run in the United States:
