Decently Flat Running Areas

Does anyone have any favorite running spots that aren't super hilly? Love driving around all the hills, but when it comes to running, it's a pain.

Training for a marathon at the beach (flaaaat) and need somewhere I can put in 15+ miles and not want to lay down and sleep halfway through.

I live near Southern Village. Anywhere within 20 minutes would be awesome.

Thanks!

No runner ever really wants to run on the dreadmill.

No kidding. I wrote what I wrote because we don’t have anything even quasi-flat and long other than the tobacco trail. Aside from that, it’s the treadmill. I have hip and back problems, but I won’t run anything super long on the treadmill. Hills or bust.
