This is one of the better spots to go for a run in the Juhu area, near the airport. There is a dedicated ‘Joggers Park’, which is a little green oasis with dedicated paths, where one could put together about 1 km. It is less than 1 km from Juhu Beach and the JW Marriott Juhu and Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach. There’s a fee of Rs.5. and it’s open 5am-10pm.
It is also possible to run along the beach (Juhu Chowpatty), although it can be a bit dirty and crowded. But it’s wide and the sand can be firm and flat. It’s about 3 miles one way along Versova and Juhu Beaches.

Quick overview of running in Mumbai, organized by area and by type of run. More than 15 of the best spots in Mumbai -- on the water, best roads, tracks, and parks & gardens.
One of the best spots for continuous road running in Mumbai. It's just over 4 km from Wilson College to Nariman point, on a path along the beach with views to the Arabian Sea and the Mumbai skyline.
At 27 acres, the largest park in Mumbai. Situated on the Arabian Sea and a popular spot for cricket. For running, there's a 1.3 km path around the perimeter. Can be combined with surrounding (posh) residential area and beach.
One of the more unique running experience. Run around the ~2km horse racing track. Good mud surface. Open to runners from 5am-9am and 4pm-8pm. No admission charge.
A decent road running option, near the Four Seasons and the Nehru Science Center/Art Gallery. It's about 3km along the road. Can be combined with the Mahalaxmi Race Course, a 2km horse track open to runners.
An oasis for running in South Mumbai. The 20 acre park is on the sea, featuring a 400-meter synthetic Olympic Track, 500-meter dirt track, and an artificial beach. Other sports facilities as well. Green and well maintained.
Carter Road is one of the better waterside roads for running, fairly wide. Best stretch goes for ~1 km, to Joggers Park, which has a 400m track for running or walking. Continue to Bandra Fort, about 2.5 km, using Bandstand Promenade
One of the best spots for running in Navi Mumbai. 2.5 km path around a pond in a dedicated park. Quite pretty and isolated from traffic. There's a bridge connecting to a mini seashore.
A decent stretch for running in Navi Mumbai. Busy road running along the coast, with some shoulder in some sections. A 1.6 km stretch is closed to vehicles Sunday morning. Also a nice 2.7 km loop around Nerul Lake.
This northern suburb of Mumbai has some of the area's better developed roads. We've put together a lovely run including a tour of the Hiranandani Garden, 1.4 km promenade along Lake Powai, and a jaunt down to Forest Park.
Large national park just north of Mumbai. There are several nature trails that make for good trail running. Other activities in the park include boating, a safari, and hiking.
