Here are maps of various routes in the Ann Arbor area. These have been contributed by members over the years. Some are roads, some trails, all require a little common sense. Use sound judgment to avoid problems:

• Stay off pavement and give right-of-way to all things larger than a squirrel

• Run on the left side of the road

• Don't listen to music

• Wear visible apparel

• Run with someone in dubious areas

If you have a good route that you don't mind sharing, send it along.

Eckland Imaging and Design is currently working on the Healthy Communities Initiative brochure project for the communities of Saline, Manchester, Dexter and Chelsea. http://www.chelseasigns.com/ They are designing and creating walking maps to help people find walking routes within their communities. The maps are to be available to area residents in October 2005.
