Capodimonte park, an expansive green space about 4 km north of city center, is home to the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, a former summer residence and hunting lodge of the king of Naples and Sicily. Today those 134 hectare grounds remain beautiful gardens, with paths, statues, and gardens radiating out to the north of the palace (now a museum). Runners will enjoy exploring these dirt and gravel paths through shady forest. A loop around the park’s outermost perimeter is 5.3 km (3.3 miles).

Other Routes in Naples, Italy
A flat and breezy popular waterfront running path with great views of Vesuvius. Extend the route with a run through Villa Comunale.
See the historic sights of Old Town Napoli on this tour through winding cobblestone streets, adorable shop fronts, and brimming historical architecture including churches, piazzas, and palazzos. Go early!
Located in the Vomero district, just west of Naples center, this street wrapping around St. Elmo’s Castle and the San Martino overlook is one of the rare opportunities for a long sidewalk run in Naples. Note: Hilly!
A great destination run for trail runners visiting Naples. This beautiful 8 km (one way) path extends along oceanfront cliffs between Positano and Bomerano on the Amalfi Coast. It's 70 km from Naples, best reached by car.
Though not quite as as large as Capodimonte or Villa Comunale, Parco Fratelli De Filippo near Ponticelli is a nice green space for a few laps.
