It's not just the amount of land that's important but also where the 
trails are or could be run.  Lots of trail can be put on flat, open 
terrain but if there are mountains, rivers, canyons, cliffs, etc. that 
limit where trails can safely go, then more land is needed.
As for shopping, there aren't very many towns that have shops that carry 
endurance related stuff.  Almost all of it is only available on-line or 
by mail.  We do support our "local" vendors, they just happen to exist 
in our on-line community!
