I would normally recommend the Suwanee Creek Greenway & George Pierce Park but a middle section of the SCG is being rebuilt right now. The longest run possible right now would be Suwanee Creek Park to the Martin Farm trailhead & back. That would be 5.3 miles of pavement, asphalt & boardwalk. www.suwanee.com/pdfs/suwaneecreekgreenway.pdfThere is also Little Mulberry Park in Dacula, GA. The Hog Mountain Road entrance has a paved 2.2 mile loop around a lake. The East & West Meadow Loops (1 mile each) on the other side of the park can help break up the monotony if you are willing to go up and down the large hill of the Carriage Trail. www.gwinnettcounty.com/static/departments/parks_rec/pdf/Little_Mulberry_Park%20Trail_%20Guide.pdfThe Hogpen hill climb is a fun run but the 1200 EST start time just seems to eat up the entire day.

There are restrooms at the trail head by the parking lot. Good place to run, some flats and a nice hill or two for your running pleasure. Might join you, but I will be at Hogpen this weekend.

There is a group from the Gwinnett Running Club that meets Saturday's @ 7:30 at Suwanee Town Center and heads towards the Greenway from there - they know the detours to bypass the closed greenway section so they can run the north and southern ends. I have not run with them but see them out there every Saturday and they seem to have a number of packs of runners running at different paces. If you are on Facebook, they have a page that you can post about hooking up with them. There are always a lot of running groups the gather at Suwanee Town Center on Saturday mornings.
