The Jeddah Corniche is the signature run in Jeddah. The Corniche itself is the 30 km coastal resort area of the city of Jeddah, featuring parks & recreation areas, pavilions, large-scale civic sculptures, and King Fahd’s Fountain — the highest fountain in the world. A wide, palm tree-lined waterfront path runs for 11 km from the Al Rahma Mosque south to City Park, where the Al Kurnaysh Road turns inland. There are great views of the Red Sea the whole way. Along the Corniche, there’s also the Jeddah Waterfront — a dedicated running & cycling track. Pro Tip: Beautiful sunsets!
For variety, the Walk Of Prince Faisal Bin Fahad runs just inland from the Corniche path for 3.4 km from Al Nawras Park north to Happy Landing Park. Some key points along the way, from north to south:
0 km: Al Rahma Mosque, north end of Corniche Path 1 km: North Corniche 2.5 km: Garden 4 km: Atallah Happy Land Park (north end of Walk Of Prince Faisal Bin Fahad) 4.3 km: Waterfront Viewing Deck; Beginning of ‘New Corniche’ 4.6 km: Open Gym & Swimming Area 5 km: Jeddah Waterfront 6.1 km: Al Rimal Plaza 6.6 km: Island Mosque 7.3 km: Al Nawras Park –‘The Seagull’ sculpture, & South end of Walk Of Prince Faisal Bin Fahad 8 km: Abdul Qadir Faqih Mosque 9.7 km: Aquarium 10.1 km: Planetarium & Amusement Park 11.3 km: City Park, south end of Corniche Path

Good spot for a run in the Corniche part of Jeddah. The dedicated walkway runs adjacent to Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Rd. for 3.4 km between Al Nawras Park and Happy Landing Park. Parks, green spaces, fountains, and sculptures. Combine with Jeddah Corniche!
Another nice opportunity to run along the water in Jeddah, with great views of the water and the world's highest fountain! The path is ~4 km, and is popular for those in the area of the Conference Palace, Ritz Carlton, & more.
A dedicated walkway/jogging track in the Al Rehab area. The walkway runs for 2.5 km from the Al Madinah Supermarket north to the Jarir Mall. The jogging track is a spongy surface. Can combine with running track at Prince Faisal Stadium.
Two adjoining walkways in the central part of Jeddah. Amidst the busyness of Ar Rawdah, these pedestrian paths run for 4 km along Al Nahdaa and Al Sayyeddah Khadija St. Not especially scenic, but a decent off-road running option in a busy area.
