TrailTrack routes

Spend a substantial running day between Bakovka and Kuntsevo, connecting Big Lazenkovsky and Meshchersky ponds, Malevich’s Cipher, Bibigon and Kabanya Glade. This version has its own historical identity: the course selected for the 2023 New Year run after snowfall.

The pergola and elk family give the entrance a clear national park identity. Rail access leaves more of the day for the woods and a relaxed return.

Follow a long western ski loop from Radonezh and add this particular western out-and-back. The Yakhroma on the southern side separates the distant section from the return, while one starting and finishing halt helps organise the train journey.

Try compact skating practice on the western side of Klimovsk’s woodland. Returning to the same junction helps structure an independent session: first learn the bends and assess snow, then decide whether another lap is worthwhile. The northern continuation makes this a distinct choice among neighbouring ski loops.

Cross the western side of the named Lytsenka Transitional Mire Sanctuary while linking two different railway sides of the Moscow region. The northern arc continues this distinct running outing; Morozovo Lake and its shore belong to another version.

Run from Strogino through Shulgino and Podushkino towards woodland waters and Perkhushkovo. This version combines First Shulgino Pond, two archaeological places and the Sominka–Betonka–Forest Lake–Pear Pond sequence, while Pionerskaya offers a separately checked earlier finishing option.

Ski through the southwestern part of Klimovsk’s woodland and return to a familiar start. This option changes a usual northern lap while retaining a clear return point. After a relaxed first outing, decide whether to continue training or finish before the journey home.

Extend the Radonezh ski arc with an independent Beklemishevo-side passage and see the Yakhroma at two different locations. The outer western passage, additional southwestern section and inner return give the training journey its own sequence.

Spend an evening moving from Nemchinovka towards Romashkovo Forest and Strogino, meeting Chachenka Stream, Hidden Ravine and High Glade. This directed outing connects the suburbs with Moscow, while the metro return removes the need to repeat the woodland passage.

Follow a western ski arc from Radonezh to Abramtsevo halt, meet the Yakhroma and add a short out-and-back. Different starting and finishing halts give this version its own purpose, while the northern continuation differs from the circuit returning to Radonezh.

Combine a substantial woodland run with two different village histories: Troitse-Lykovo beside the Moscow River and Laykovo on the western continuation. Churches, the Odintsovo-2 place and real streams give the journey several changes of character. Perkhushkovo’s railway provides a useful return point when time and stamina are kept in reserve.

After establishing permitted connections, combine a sustained woodland run towards Surmino with Dyutkovo’s musical history. Taneyev’s house museum, the Korallovo chapel and real watercourses give the journey meaningful pause points. This option covers a broad stretch of countryside and requires the Moscow River crossing issue to be resolved beforehand.

Repeat the specific 2022 New Year running course from Bakovka, in which Romashkovo’s glades and Skolkovo art culminate in two literary characters. The journey links woodland, river and urban sculpture, ending on Moscow’s Molodyozhnaya side.

Ski a compact woodland lap without a lengthy remote extension. Its eastern location distinguishes it from Klimovsk’s western skiing options, while returning to the same woodland area lets you choose repeats according to your energy. It offers a relaxed independent training plan after snow and approach checks.

Connect Opalikha woodland, a short Lohin Island visit, western Podushkino Forest and the actual waters before Pionerskaya. Railway access at the departure and conclusion enables a substantial independent running day with changing places along the way.

This variant explores the wooded side of the Ashukino surroundings and reaches the area of historical group rest stops at Khlyby. Pause beside the chapel before leaving the settlement streets.

Choose it for a long trail-running day in the Nerskaya basin and the gradual passage between distinct river valleys. The Nerskaya, Sechenka and Teterka provide real stopping places, while finishing in Shevlyagino avoids retracing the whole journey.

Treat this 17.71 km point-to-point cross-country skiing route as a complete outing, paying attention to the terrain and changing surface underfoot. Gentle terrain: 83 m of total ascent over 17.71 km. Estimated moving time is about 3.1 hours; add time for pauses and navigation.

Connect the protected Nerskoye woods with two distinct Klubish locations and finish around a broad northern arc towards Morozki. Beyond the stream, the woodland journey follows its own continuation rather than turning to Iksha; this gives the passage its particular character.

The variant reveals how long club ski outings linked Morozki surroundings with the Yakhroma valley. The bridge near Khlyby is a specific stop on the former passage, available for consideration after the chosen section’s access has been checked.

Turn a regular run into a directed Pionerskaya–Skolkovo outing, meeting Pear Pond, Forest Lake, Betonka and Sominka Stream. Lazutinka adds Podushkino Forest’s established sporting atmosphere, while railway access at both ends simplifies travel.

Explore the former Moscow-region Sotnya through its water boundaries: the Klubish on the western approach, the canal at Morozki and the Yakhroma in the eastern woods. Choose a confirmed accessible section for travel; the archival idea does not establish today’s connection of the entire journey.

Spend an active day travelling from a suburban railway station to the Moscow metro, with different places to discover along the way. St Sergius and St Elijah churches provide architectural pauses, Semin and Bykov ponds offer waterside stops, and the woodland glades change the mood. The smiling Khoja Nasreddin makes a recognisable meeting point after a substantial run.

Spend a day in the woods without returning along the same road. The Ostrovnya shapes the main section, while the Nakhavnya provides a final river encounter before the train. This suits an independently planned run with small-river pauses, exploring the countryside outside Zvenigorod’s usual town itinerary.
