The spacious grounds of Chandrima Udyan, the park and grounds around the Bangladesh National Parliament and the Prime Minister’s residence, make for a memorable run. A wide, grand path leads to this huge legislative building, which has a grand modernist architecture. A loop around the park and complex grounds can be 2-3 km. For a longer run, we recommend combining this route with our Dhanmondi Lake run, which is 1 km south using the [unpleasant but runnable] Mirpur Rd. Combined, this would be ~10-11 km.

Ramna Park is one of the signature running spots in Dhaka, with 2.5 km of paths passing by lush greenery. Combine with the adjacent grounds of Shishu Park and the Eternal Flame/Museum of Independence and even University of Dhaka for a longer run.
The area around Dhanmondi Lake is one of the better places to run in Dhaka. There are a couple of small parks, and a dedicated walking path around the lake that adds up to a loop of ~4.2 km. There are nice views of the water, and lots of greenery.
A tour of the the upscale Gulshan district, known for its embassies and corporate offices. Our nearly 10 km route includes the embassies along United Nations Road in the Baridhara neighborhood, and a loop around Gulshan Lake Park & Gulshan Lake Walkway.
A popular lake area in Dhaka and a good spot for a run, featuring waterside promenades, a dancing fountain, and illuminated bridges. Can also connect to the Gulshan Lake Walk Way and our Gulshan Lake/Baridhara route for a longer run.
A popular visitor destination and also a good place to go for a run. The 84-acre grounds are a lush oasis, with an impressive collection of flora and fauna. A loop of the main paths is up to 6.5 km. It can get crowded, so best to go early.
Some decent running opportunities in West Uttara, an upscale area in northern Dhaka that's part of the planned Uttara Residential Model Town. Best bet is Sector 15, where there's a Lakeside Walkway and some wide streets that are OK for running.
