The weather might not be as hot as it once was, but for many runners that’s actually a good thing. Cooler air, better conditions, and scenic views make for a more pleasant run than the sometimes harsh summer heat. Metro Detroit organizations and communities realize that and have plenty of runs taking place during the autumn months. So don’t put those running shoes away just yet and head out to these great fall runs in the D.
