Recently a couple of southwest Ohio residents undertook an ambitious project: to walk the entire length of the Great Miami River Trail. Over 8 days, from Fairfield to Piqua, averaging about 10 miles a day, they experienced the Miami Valley Trails at about 3 miles per hour.
You can read more about their trip in this article published in the Journal-News.

The City of Kettering has recently updated the route for the Dayton-Kettering Connector (19) along the portion that is on-street. If you have bicycled or walked the route of the D-KC in Kettering, you may remember the crossing at Marshall Road, which had been for several years at Claybourne Road. Because of the nearby curve, just north of Claybourne, some, perhaps many, users may have found this to be a difficult or uncomfortable place to cross. Responding to these concerns, the City of Kettering has re-routed the D-KC to cross Marshall at Cloverfield Avenue.

Just Under 2 miles winding between Franklin's Community Park and Springboro's Hazel Woods Park
The City of Franklin recently completed construction on a beautiful new trail connection between Franklin and Springboro, the Clear Creek Trail. The trail doesn't YET connect to any of the Miami Valley Trails, but the City has plans to complete the connection through their terrific historic downtown to the Great Miami River Trail. Longer term, Springboro's "Central Greenway" route will connect this new trail to the Great-Little Trail along Austin Pike.
