If you’re located closer to Tras Talleres, Buenos Aires, or San Juan Chateau on the east side of the bay, you can run along the long path following the Martin Pena canal to the Parque Central del San Juan. The eastern end of the path starts near the rails at the Hato Rey train station, crosses the river, and goes on about a mile, passing a municipal park and a half before reaching the Parque Central. There, you can follow the water for about another mile before looping back towards the San Juan Chateau area. Note there’s a running track next to Parque Central.

Other Routes in San Juan, Puerto Rico
One of the best runs in San Juan. Follow the Passeo del Morro, beautiful seaside promenade, out to the Fort and a National Historic Site. Do a little tour there, and then enjoy some of the narrow streets of Old San Juan.
The area around the Condado Peninsula, where Ashford Ave. connects Old San Juan with the remainder of the city via a gorgeous bridge, is a treat for running. Short option out to fort and back, longer option is lagoon loop.
A public adjacent to the Puerto Rico Supreme Court, features a variety of walkways where you can piece together~2 miles of off-street running. Combine with Ashford Avenue run to Condado, and the lagoon loop for a 5-6 miler.
The six mile paved/wooden bike route of the Tablado de Piñones boardwalk is one of your best chances for a long distance run uninterrupted by cars.
The best beach for a run in San Juan. Just east of Punta el Medio, it goes for 0.7 miles. Combine with the Tablado de Piñones path and linear park, for a longer run.
For beach running in close proximity to downtown and the airport, Último Trolley is a great choice. Nearby Parque Barbosa also has paved paths and a track.
East of San Juan, this linear park in Carolina offers a nice running track and pretty green paths stretching along the canal to the Children’s Museum.
