There’s some quite nice running in Fürth, a small city contiguous with Nuremberg. Near the center, one can put together a nice run combining Stadtpark, paths along the river, and nearby sports fields and a running track. We’ve mapped a 6k route, with options for more.
Pappelsteig. Google Street View
Start at Stadtpark or one of the parking lots just north of it. A loop of the medium-sized park, which features pleasant interior and riverside paths, including two small lakes, is ~2 km. Combination of open and wooded. Then take the small bridge across to the north side of the river and do a jaunt along Pappelsteig — a gorgeous, tree-lined path. Then head north along the Pegnitz River, crossing Erlanger St. to enjoy the Sportanlage sports fields and running track. Then return to the start.
Add-Ons: Continue north for another ~1 km along the river, and in the fields around the Kapellenruh. Can also combine with our route along the Pegnitz toward Nuremberg.

One of the more pleasant runs in central Nuremberg. The Süßheimweg multi-use path follows the Peglitz River west as far as Fürth. Combination of wooded and park-like landscape, with some water views. Add-on paths in the parks.
One of our favorite routes in Nuremberg. We've mapped 5k & 8k loops, following scenic paths along the Wöhrder See (lake). A highlight is the Norikusdamm, a path over the water. There are nice water views and a festive scene!
Follow the 5.6 km green strip along and around the old city walls for a fun run and a sense of Nuremberg's two old towns and key historical landmarks. It's also a good anchor for the Pegnitz River & Wöhrder See routes.
A park, a lake, historical & cultural sites, and access to three running tracks -- all in one 7.3 km loop! This route is in an area of southern Nuremberg that's home to Kongresshalle, now the site of several event venues, and the Volkspark Dutzendteich.
A good spot for a run in northern Nuremberg and near the airport. ~5 km of pleasant, open paths on the park, as well as numerous sports & recreation facilities.
The best places to run in Erlangen, located 20 km north of Nuremberg are our route in the center of town, paths along the canal, and the extensive network of forest trails nearby.
