This is one of the longer, flatter, seamless running opportunities in the Dubrovnik area. A waterside road, the Ul. na Rivi, runs along the north side of the river, which lets out into the Adriatic. It’s 6.7 km (4.1 mikes) out and back, from Rožat to Stara Mokošica (Old Mokosica). The road is not car free, but traffic is not bad since the main road runs just north. There are great views of the water, mountains, and Dubrovnik the whole way. Rožat is about 8 km northeast of Dubrovnik.

Running inside the city gates difficult and not encouraged. But, if you go early or during less crowded times, it's possible to do a hilly, twisty-turny run in Old Town. Running the 2 km loop around the City Wall is also a temptation...
Located on the northern part of the Lapad Peninsula, Babin Kuk is one of the greenest spots for running in Dubrovnik, with paths, promenades, and great views. A route around the perimeter is 6.4 km.

A 12km "highlights tour" combining several of our Dubovnik routes: a section along the water, a loop around Babin Kuk, and the lovely trails of Forest Park Velika and Mala Petka. Mostly on paths, with great views and some hills.
Running on Srd Hill offers one of the better opportunities for some hilly, relatively traffic free running above the old city, with great views. After an 800 foot switchback climb over 2 km, a relatively flat 2.8 km along Srd. Ul.
The road above the old Hotel Belvedere and Orsula Beach offers some good car-free running in Dubrovnik, with great views of the water. For a longer run, head towards the Ploce Gate to the old city.
