In the northern part of Lusaka, there’s decent running in the area of National Heroes Stadium. And just across the street is the OYDC Running Track — one of the best running tracks in Lusaka.
Inside the stadium. Adam Ojdahl
There is no designated route here. When there’s not an event taking place at the stadium, runners enjoy the quiet roads within the stadium complex and even the large parking lots. There are some paths on the west side around the National Heroes Memorial, and Independence Stadium across the way. One can put together a couple of km here, plus laps around the track.

Possibly the best place to run in the Lusaka area. Trails of of 2.5 km, 5 km & 10 km around a game farm with safe wildlife viewing! Fairly open terrain. You might see giraffe, hartebeest, warthogs, & more. Located 20 km south of the city.
Some 'runnable' options in central Lusaka just east of the CBD. Using Independence Ave. as an anchor, there are government buildings and embassies in the Cathedral Hill area, and some nice streets in the Ridgeway, & Woodlands neighborhoods.
Located in the northeast part of the city, this university campus is an oasis from Lusaka's busy roads and a good spot for a run. Enjoy running the safe paths around the academic buildings, on the paths and fields south of Sports Hall, and he area around Groma Lakes.
A park located 30 km southeast of Lusaka and a destination for wildlife viewing. There are roads and some bicycle trails that are runnable, but not that much in the way of maps or way-marking.
