The Gerald Desmond Bridge

The Gerald Desmond bridge between Long Beach and Terminal Island is an amazing structure to run on. It's about .97 miles from one end to the other and running one way is not an option unless you are headed elsewhere. The start up stretching area, just outside Molina Healthcare is an ideal place to warm up. From that point on towards the GD bridge is approximately .67 miles. So, basically it would be an overall 3 mile (5k) cardio round trip. That would be a great starting position to and from if consider a beginner or starter, whichever suits you. Now to add on additional miles, it would be recommended to do a little research and pick a business center, or better yet, an area of interest whether it be residential and/or business further away from the initial starting location. As you progress in time and/or speed/pace, then it's soley up to you to find other unique jogging/running spots. This is great for anyone looking to get away from the treadmill or simply just to explore your surroundings.
