There’s some peaceful running in an area of nature preserves in Kraymorie, located about 10 km south of central Burgas. It’s a combination of low-trafficked dirt roads and wide dirt paths, mostly through wide-open fields & around salt marshes, with some views of Burgas Bay. There are two sections of this rum, which can be done separately or combined.

Cape Foros Loop. 4.4 km. This route starts in Kraymorie, and heads north on a dirt road past Kraymorie Beach (some beach and water views). At the 1.4k mark, branch off the road for a loop to the tip of Cape Foros, on a somewhat rugged but runnable path. Then, rejoin the road to complete the loop, passing through dry open fields. Note: roads are unnamed.
Nature Conservation Center Poda. This nature center is a popular birding area and features some trails around a salt marsh. The main trail is ~1.7 km long and features some lovely view.
To combine it with the Cape Foros Loop: @ the 3.3 km point of the loop above, take a RIGHT on a dirt path, which will connect to the Nature Center. It’s 1.5 km, passes by the Poros Fortress, and features a scenic pedestrian bridge. Overall, the combined route is ~11 km.

Nearly 8 km of seamless waterfront running in Burgas. It's a festive scene, and there are great views of area beaches and the Black Sea. We've divided the route into three sections, which you can run separately or combine for a longer run!
Iconic European park near central Burgas features paths passing lawns & landscaped gardens, large fountains, & monuments. There's also a multi-use path along the seafront. The park runs ~2.5 km north-south. Add with waterfront route.
A fun exploration of the historic center of Burgas, using ul. Aleksandrovska as the anchor. This 1.8 km north-south boulevard is mainly pedestrianized and passes by several of Burgas' historic sites. Good add-on options.
Some nice waterfront running in this seaside town located between Burgas and Nessebar. Run for up to 6 km along a sandbar, with wide open water views; or for 4 km along a beachfront promenade. The beach is also runnable.
Gorgeous seafront running in Nessebar, including a 3 km waterfront promenade encircling the perimeter of Old Nessebar. Great views of the sea and Old Town. Add with the cobbled streets of Old Nessebar, lined with Byzantine ruins.
Nessebar is known for its beaches, but they have soft sand and aren't great for running. South Beach is 1 km long and Sunny Beach is 5 km long. Sunny Beach includes a 2.8 km paved beachfront promenade, which is good for running and has some views.
Some great running options in Varna, Bulgaria's third-largest city: waterfront routes, lovely parks, a 'runseeing' tour of the historic center, and an easy trail running park.
