The Cochran/Sope complex is a trail runners' mecca. You can literally run all day in there. Conservatively, there was a hundred people running around the main river-side wide-path. However, only a few people venture out into the Sope Creek Highlands. Surfaces range from medium-to-fine gravel (near the river), rocks (at times jagged), to matted pine needles. Unless you're a hardened barefooter, I'd suggest at least carrying some VFFs. I covered 9 miles. Great time.
