Here is a fun run idea if you have young ones to push in the jogger this summer. These routes are Portland specific, but I am sure you can find similar ones in your area! I usually bring a few snacks and then let the kids play in the fountain before heading back home.
Jamison Fountain in the Pearl - this is a great spot for younger kids. Word of advice is to hit the fountain before noon as after 12pm the older kids begin to dominate the fountain area. I run there from North Portland via the Broadway bridge. It is about a 9.5 mile loop in total and includes scenic Willamette, not so scenic Interstate, the Broadway bridge..
