Established in 1898, the Bermuda Botanical Gardens are a popular walking and running spot, with 36 acres of paths winding around lush foliage. The Gardens are located in Paget, only 1 mile west of Hamilton, and are free and open to the public. There’s a large variety of flowers, a palm garden, a subtropical fruit garden, and numerous greenhouses, and the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art. You can put together about 1 mile of running on the interlocking paths.

Use Berry Hill Rd. east to Tee St. to Middle Rd. To access the National Stadium from Arboretum, use Montpelier road.

There's terrific running in Bermuda's small capital. Our 4.6 mile 'runseeing' tour features waterfront running along Front St., pleasant side streets with colonial era buildings, several small parks, and a jaunt up to historic Fort Hamilton.
Great running on Bermuda's South Shore, in the 3.5 mile stretch between Horseshoe Bay Beach and Elbow Beach. Run on the beach, on sand dune paths, or along South Rd., which has a decent shoulder in this section.
26-mile Railway Trail covering nearly the entire island west-east is the best opportunity for a longer off-road run. Combination of surfaces and there are some breaks. Prettiest section is the north shore. See separate post for section descriptions.
There are three particularly wonderful sections of this 26-mile island wide rail trail: St. George's, the North Shore, and the western section between Vesey Nature Reserve and Somerset Village. We've mapped them out, with descriptions.
This island in the northeastern part of Bermuda has some lovely running options: Quiet, waterside roads around the airport, the Railway Trail from the Town to Ferry Island Fort, scenic Barry Rd., and 2 miles of trails in Ferry Reach Park.
Popular spot for runners in Sandy's Parish. Pleasant network dirt/sand trails, ~ 1 mile of running, fairly wooded & hilly. Cool off with a swim at Hog Bay Beach! For a longer run, the Railway Trail is just off Middle Rd. at the eastern edge of the park.
The largest wildlife sanctuary in Bermuda, and a lovely spot for running. There's a 1.2 mile path around the pond, with great ocean views. For a longer run, continue on South Rd. to John Smith's Bay. Nice views, not too much traffic
