Previously known as A Trail, the name changed in June 2013 to Paddy's Run to commemorate Patrick 'Paddy' Avery, a fine young man and a very talented cyclist who passed away late in 2012.

A fast, flowing trail showcasing Murray's obsession with with giving us a life free of ruts (also see Split Enz, Pondy New and Yellow Brick Road). This trail has had a lot of care and remodeling.

There are a couple of trail splits for easy/hard options, they join back up a short distance later.
