Sanur Beach is a quiet village located in southeastern Bali. Colorful fishing boats dot this resort town with galleries, restaurants & an old temple. Sanur Beach also offers one of the best off-road running paths in Bali, with a 6 km beachfront path. The concrete/stone path goes for 2 km south to Mertasari Beach and 4 km north, passing Segara Beach and ending at Matahari Terbit Beach. This run is particularly special at sunrise.

Other good running options in the Sanur Beach area:
Beach. The beach goes for several km here. The sand is a bit fine and pebbly, with more situational running. Best at low tide. Tide Chart.
Road Running. A bit of a variation from the beach is to run in and out of the quiet alleyways that connect the beach path to the main road. The main road itself, Jl. Danau Tamblingan, is runnable, as there is a decent sidewalk. There are numerous shops and restaurants, but no particular views.

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.
Some of the best options for running in Bali. The beach is very runnable and extends for several km north or south. A paved boardwalk path runs for 2.5 km to Jerman Beach, with great water views. The road north to Seminyak is also runnable.
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.
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.
