I completed Keokuk Lane the other day and I think it’s my new favorite. And Hokah Ave is probably second place since I run in Hoka Cliftons most of the time.
What’s your favorite street name that you’ve completed? Or the weirdest?

I used to like ‘Marathonloop’ in Eindhoven a lot.

Close by in Veldhoven we find ‘De Run’. Which is much more inclusive ofcourse, I think it should be everyone’s favorite street.

Also in Eindhoven we have ‘Vliegende Koffer’, which would translate to ‘Flying Suitcase’. Sounds very convenient when you travel a lot.

In Zwolle i ve ran the ‘Korte Ademhalingssteeg’. It means ‘Short Breathing Alley’. I don’t think I was running that fast, but who knows.

In Helmond I’ve stumbled upon ‘Verliefd Laantje’.
This is the ‘Lane in Love’. I think, just like me, it’s in love with too many streets…

You go to Nirwana take a right, then left, and you’re there. Quite disappointing in the end.

In Louisville, KY, USA there’s Billy Goat Strut and Nanny Goat Strut Alleys that always get a chuckle as I run by them.

Not sure if its a favorite but it sure prompted discussion.

I’ve come across Habe-die-Ehre-Gasse - CityStrides (“honored to meet you”) - my friendly greeting as I pass someone in the rankings, and Ohmanngasse - CityStrides - me when I see someone I thought I was keeping up with drop a 70-street activity and disappear over the horizon never to be seen again

I like these 2 streets in Queens (New York). They tie all of us City Striders globally:
United Nations Avenue North
United Nations Avenue South

In my hometown there are quite a few weird street names, but Hoerejacht (‘whore hunt’) and Tussen Hel en Vagevuur (Between Hell and Purgatory) are the most stolen street signs in my neighbourhood

The street names that stand out the most for me share a theme – all 13 are from the Poets section of Millburn, NJ. I recognized these names from my long ago days as an English major: Addison Drive, Browning Road, Byron Road, Chaucer Road, Coleridge Road, Dryden Terrace, Fielding Road, Keats Road, Shelley Road, Spenser Drive, Tennyson Drive, Thackeray Drive, Wordsworth Road.
