IMHO, buttermilk and north bank have too many hazards which can result in a twisted ankle or worse. It’s something I definitely would recommend for hiking, but for distance running (training), it’s pretty risky. The bikers also come through pretty damn fast at times.
It’s definitely worth a visit, but maybe not for a 10 mile run.

If we had been having this conversation 3 months ago I probably would have disagreed with you, but I did twist my ankle running that trail on my birthday. This was during peak leaves on the ground time though, so I guess OP if you do run the trail just exercise some caution on where your feet go. Otherwise the capital trail is much safer terrain wise but also not nearly as fun imo.
