Quote from: A-Yty on 04 June 2019, 01:38I just realized, looking at city and municipal home sites, that they are no longer referred to as "sawdust tracks", because nowadays they lack the sawdust. Instead they're referred to as "exercise tracks" or "jogging tracks". Back in the 90's the tracks were filled with sawdust (a bliss for the ankle when running long distances), but at some point, I'm guessing early 2000's, it was gradually replaced with sand and gravel.
Hey, do you guys have "sawdust tracks"? As in nearby forest areas with paths cleared and filled mainly with sawdust and some smaller areas with sand and gravel. Meant for jogging, running, walking and skiing. They're also barred from motorized vehicles and sometimes bicycles too.
According to Wikipedia, there is no English equivalent, so I'm guessing that if they are there, they're not very common. German refers to it as "Finnenbahn". Here it's "pururata" (word-for-word translation: "powder track", but since in this case, "puru" refers almost exclusively to the powder from chipped wood, it's not specified as "sahanpururata", which would be "sawdust track")
