[size=+1]Below is a list of some of the trails in the area, some closer than others.
This is just a handful of the trails somewhat nearby to Buena Vista / Arrowhead Campground. There are many more 1-3 rated trails, passes, etc. in the area than what is listed here. The following link shows an overview of the Colorado Trail map. You can easily start in Buena Vista and work your way out from there.

Another note: In some cases there are a handful of these trails that are near, if not very close to one another. In some cases this allows for running more than one trail that day (depending on length and difficulty of the trails).
Trails near/close to one another:
1.) Carnage Canyon and Chinaman's Gulch
2.) Iron Chest, Mount Antero, Grizzly Lake, Pomeroy Lakes, Hancock Pass, Tincup Pass
3.) Flume Creek, Lost Canyon, Clohesy Lake, Halfmoon Creek
4.) Mount Zion and Hagerman Pass
