There is a two-mile bark chip trail around Glendoveer Golf Course
at NE 148 & Halsey. It is marked every quarter mile (except
the half mile mark in the forest). It is not flat, but it is
fun.
My three miler I do there is this:
Depart the parking area at 148/Halsey and counter clockwise
to the 3/4 mile mark. Turn around and pass through the start
area, then continue clockwise to the next 3/4 mile mark and
return. This gives you a little flat, a slight uphill, a slight
downhill, a little more flat, a good burning uphill, some
flat through a forest, and once you turn around, a blitzing
downhill for the finish!
I have done many modifications of this, even 5 times around
for a ten-miler. There is a porta potty and a drinking fountain
there. It is very walker and runner friendly, and easy on
the feet. Be careful of the squirrels, though!
