This is a popular combination ‘run and eat’, and a way to get a taste of Hill country not too far from downtown, and near UT San Antonio. The run starts at the well-known Hills and Dale biker bar, next to Aguascalientes Taqueria, which is famous for breakfast tacos (do the run first!). It’s a pleasant and hilly neighborhood run, topping out at High Mountain Road, with great views of San Antonio. A good add-on is to take Babcock Rd. across the highway and enjoy the paths on the campus of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Also, it’s near Six Flags amusement park — drop the kids and go for a run!

A 5.5-mile tour of San Antonio’s downtown highlights: River Walk, Market Square, the UT San Antonio, Tower of the Americas, Blue Star Arts Complex, & the Alamo. Good add-on options.
San Antonio’s signature running trail and a top visitor attraction. There are ~15 continuous miles of paved path and numerous parks & tributary trails. We have a detailed writeup of the numerous sections and major sites, and have mapped 'north' and 'south' routes.
The best San Antonio residential neighborhoods are the adjacent Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and Olmos Park, just north of downtown. King William and Mahncke Park are fun and central. Stone Oak, north of the city, is also good for running.
Part of the northern section of the River Walk. Popular, 350 acre park and home to the Japanese Tea Gardens, Botanical Garden, and the San Antonio Zoo. Part of the River Walk or ~3.5 miles of trails within the park. Running track @Alamo Stadium, just across from the park.
