Sheeew, it is VERY hot. I don't know if they offer trails or not... I've never seen them in the past but I could be wrong. $300 for a couple 5-10 mile runs seems sort of steep though.
I remember someone tried to do this last year too. I don't know if it worked and where he ran, but pesonaly if i were to do it (and I'm not) I would run randomly with no plan of where I was going and enjoy te many sights, sounds, and scents. Its Roo be spontanious.
I saw some lady running through the campgrounds at like 9 in the morning and I was sweating my arse off just waiting in line for the bathroom. Pretty much everyone in line did the same thing as me...just stare at her in utter confusion as she ran by. I was impressed that she was able to be running in that heat and at that hour, especially considering it was Spunday, but it also caught me really off guard.
So do people do it/is there space to? Definitely. Are you going to get weird looks from people still fucked up from the night before? Definitely. But it's Roo, who cares what people think of you.
I barely end up having the energy to make it through each day. I drink a ton of water and nap regularly and still end up sapped. I can't imagine having the energy to run. If you do, plan on going early before the roads start looking like gypsies on pilgrimage....

I have a feeling if I tried to go running at Bonnaroo I would literally die. No exaggeration whatsoever.
Seriously, though, if you do try to run, please take care of yourself! It's usually a challenge for everyone to keep hydrated and rested enough to just make it through the day. If you try to run, make sure you have a ridiculous amount of water with you.

Just run through camp. I gotta tell ya, I am an avid trainer. At home it's six days a week of intense workouts without question. There is no way that I could work out at Bonnaroo. I'm up all night and it's ass hot by 0500. I do take long walks through camp, but that's all I can muster while there.
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...
I run NCAA Cross Country and every year I notice a couple of people running at the roo. Its Crazy. No matter what shape your in, running at roo seems silly. you have the rest of the year to get in shape. indulge yourself for four days for goodness sake!

I remember 2 years ago I think it was somebody was training for a marathon shortly after Roo and planned on running a few times over the weekend. I don't know how it worked out for them, but if you're in the kind of shape to where you'd even consider running on the farm, I'd imagine it wouldn't be unbearable for you.
I don't think there are any "trails" per se, but I think if you just run along the roads that go through the campgrounds in the morning then you'd be set. Who knows what sort of shenanigans you may pass on your morning runs, as well!

Yeah, I remember last year, watching a guy running his arse off and wondering why in the hell anyone would be running in this heat, then I saw the 2 security guards not far behind him and it made sense.
"There is an ancient celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public bar-room, and you will quickly see: Bad people drink bad beer. Think about it."
Hey, I think this year I'm gonna be looking to get in a couple 5-10 mile runs. Does anyone have any info about trails/would anyone like to come?
I'm assuming you run for college and your thinking bonnaroo is in the middle of my base. I'm supposed to run 80 miles that week what do i do. I was in the same sort of position last year, i wound up doing 2 four mile runs one firday around noon when i woke up and one sunday after the closing. If you do everything at roo that you want you won't have the time or energy to knock out 30 miles on the farm in those four days. I did see one person running while I was walking back from late night, this seemed like the best time to do it if you still had any energy.
