For a fun and easy to follow run, head to Topilla Island. A loop on its paths is 5.6 km — part along the water and part inland. Good options to add on with part of our multi-island tour.

Start at the marina on the east side of the island and head east on the path along the water for 0.4 km. Cross the Möljä Bridge, and run on the waterside path for another 0.5 km, crossing back over to Topilla. Follow the path south along the water for 0.5 km to Parasniemenpuisto, the park next to the Korkeasaarensilta pedestrian bridge. Here, the route follows an inland section of the island on a cycle path alongside Holstinsalmentie for ~1.3 km to Nallikari Beach. There’s a lovely path along this 0.8 km beach, which is popular in summer…and frozen in winter. North of the beach, the final 1.5 km is inland, through Fokkatie Park.

Among our several centrally located waterfront routes in Oulu, this 11 km loop is focused on paths along the Merikoski Raoids and the Ouloujoki River in Oulu and Tuira. It's almost all on pedestrian/cycle paths, mostly along the water, with great views.
This route follows the Hiirosenoja River, a tributary of the Ouloujoki River extending southeast of Oulu. Since the river is narrow, this feels more like a run through canal-side parks. There are out & back and a couple of different loop options.
A great 10k run on waterfront paths covering four islands, then waterfront paths along the Oulu and Tuira sides of the Merikoski rapids. Many scenic bridge crossings and sections along the water.
A nice route in northern Oulu combining paths along sections of Kuivasjärvi Lake, Pyykösjärvi Lake, and the University of Oulu campus, all connected by a good network of cycle paths. Some nice water views and wooded sections with lovely birch trees.
