Hi. Which parks and greenways are safe for women running or bicycling by themselves? I’m specifically looking for cement trails with an open layout.

I live near uptown Charlotte, and usually go to Freedom Park for runs after 5pm. They’ve closed the trail around the pond while it’s under construction. I’m willing to travel 30 minutes out.

I’d also appreciate run club and kickball league recommendations for a 34F non-athlete who’s serious about training for her first 5K race! My health is a priority, and I would love to make new friends who value the same. 🙂
