Where to run track laps in Louisville

Louisville's Olmsted-designed parks give the city a strong running backbone, and the metro's school and college tracks fill in the rest. The climate is four-season — humid summers that reward early or lit-evening running, and cold snaps that occasionally push runners indoors — but spring and fall are excellent for outdoor laps.
