The Kuta Beach area offers some of the best running options in Bali. Kuta Beach itself is a popular, wide expanse of beach, populated by numerous resorts and other development. There are excellent beach and boardwalk running options headed north or south from Kuta Beach. The beach is generally good for running. Wide, with a firm sand surface near the water. See the tide chart for best conditions.
South to Jerman Beach. A paved boardwalk path runs for 2.5 km south to Segara Beach and then to Jerman Beach, near the airport. Great water views and very festive. One can also run on the beach itself in this direction.

North to Seminyak. It’s 5 km one-way from Kuta Beach, through Legian, to near the W Hotel in Seminyak. Great beach running! Also, it’s possible to run along the road. JL. Pantai Kuta from Kuta Beach to Legian, is busier but there’s a sidewalk/bike lane. North of Legian, the road (JL. Pantai Legian) becomes quieter, and more enjoyable for running — it almost feels like a pedestrian-only path.

Capital of Bali and gateway to the island. The best spot for running in Denpasar is the Lapangan Renon Park, which surrounds the Bajra Sandhi Monument. The smaller Lapangan Puputan Badung has a jogging track and fields.
This increasingly popular beach town north of Kuta and Seminyak is a good place to create your own route to view the terraced rice paddies of Bali. Use the small roads and paths, such as off Jl. Babadan.
Not a heavily visited spot but fantastic for running, and only 15-20 mins. from Denpasar/Kuta/Sanur. Great for longer, waterside runs on quiet gravel roads. We've mapped loops of the western & eastern sides, with opportunities to combine.
An opportunity for some lush, scenic Bali countryside running. Run along trekking paths and past rice paddies, where there's a combination of gentler and more challenging, hilly trail running. Campuhan Ridge Walk is famous. Video Excerpts!
The fishing towns and coastal resorts offer some excellent running options. We recommend the 4 km long Jimbaran Beach, hill running on quieter roads just inland, and for a unique running experience, the grounds of GWK Culture Park.
Quiet village located in southeastern Bali, dotted with colorful fishing boats, galleries, restaurants & an old temple. The best bet for running is the 6 km paved beachfront path that goes south to Mertasari Beach and north to Matahari Terbit Beach.
High-end resort area on Bali's east coast has great hotels, shopping, convention center, & golf resort. Best places to run are along Nusa Dua Beach, and on some of the tree-lined resort area roads, which have good paths.
For those visiting Bali, the three Gili Islands are a popular excursion and also great for running, featuuring a perimeter road/path with beach and water views under swaying palms. Gili Trawangan is a 6.7 loop, while Gili Meno and Gili Air are each 5 km.
