There are a handful of different places you can park to do Mount Elbert, but this is the official starting point for the Standard Route. The North Mount Elbert Trail shares its route with the Colorado Trail briefly before branching off and heading up the northern ridge of the mountain.

The first couple miles of the route are runnable before the trail gets too steep (though it still definitely starts out uphill). This is a well maintained trail and a good first 14er to try to run.
