This is a pleasant run combining Peremoha Park and Park Kioto in eastern Kyiv’s Dniprovs’kyi District. Peremoha Park is a large urban park, with nicely tree-lined, criss-crossing pathways and a small lake. It’s ~1.5 km from end-to-end. We recommend combining this with Park Kioto, which is a Japanese themed park that has some nice paths lined by cherry trees. The parks are ~1.5 km apart, using Oleksandra Boichenka St. or Andriya Malyshka St. to connect them. Overall, you can put together an 8-9 km run combining the two parks.
For some variety, there are some paths in the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics adjacent to Park Kioto.

A comprehensive 'runseeing' tour of Kyiv, hitting many of city's main sights and monuments. Much of the route is through large squares and parks. It's quite easy to follow. The full tour is 13.5 km, but can be shortened. Hilly, with some great views.
Pleasant paths along the right bank of Dnieper River that run from the Pedestrian Bridge near the Friendship of Nations Arch for 5 km south to Navodnitsky Park. Good water views. Good options for a loop back through parks and add-ons.
A scenic and interesting 8 km loop combining paths, parks and sights. Nearly seamless off-road route connects the Mariinskyi Park and Palace area out to the Park of the Eternal Glory. Numerous options to vary the paths or add on. Pretty in winter!
This island that sits in the middle of the Dnieper River is a popular urban beach and park. A loop around the island is a pleasant 5 km run, combining paved and wooded paths. Can be combined with our Rusanivska Embankment and Telbin Lake route.
Combining a loop around Telbin Lake and the paths along the Rusanivska Embankment make for an attractive 10k waterside run on the left bank of the river, just across from Hydropark. There are great views of the water and the run is nearly all on paths.
A pleasant run along the Dnieper River in the Obolon area. The 6.5 km route combines paths along the Obolonska Quay with a loop around the adjacent Park Natalka. The entire route is on off-road and multi-use paths. Great views of the water.
One of the more popular places to run in Kyiv, with numerous paved multi-use paths and some easy trail running on forested paths. One can run for many km on the island. We've mapped a popular 12 km loop from Yevropeiska Square.
Large park that sits between the left and right banks of the Dnieper has some good trails for running. A highlight is the round Memorial Garden. We've mapped a 7.7 loop, but many more km are possible. Good for a longer but not challenging trail run.
A particularly impressive botanical garden, and popular for running. Wide paved and gravel paths pass by a nice variety of flora and fauna. There's a fortress and a monastery at the eastern end. Can combine with Navodnitsky Park for a longer run.
Several parks in close proximity in the northwestern part of Kyiv, easily reachable by metro. Lots of wide, tree-lined paths. Run the parks standalone of combine Dubky Park, Nyvky Park, & Syretsʹky Park for a ~10k loop. Nyvky Park is the largest of the parks.
One of the few national parks in the world located within a city. A sprawling park, with extensive trails through a mainly forest steppe landscape, with some ponds at the northern end. Many running options. Trail running but not too challenging.
