Downtown Phoenix is not much for running. But if you’re staying downtown and pressed for time, there are a couple of options. Central City, only 4 miles from the airport, is bound by I-10 & I-17. A good “tour of downtown” would run mainly west of 7th St., toward the State Capitol, using Van Buren, Monroe, or Adams. Sites include Heritage Square, Arizona Science Center Children’s Museum, Convention Center, Chase Field (baseball), Herberger Theater for Performing Arts, the Orpheum Theater, basketball arena, a couple of parks, and the Capitol. There are lots of hotels in this area too.

Just 5 miles north of downtown, this is a pleasant, relatively shaded dirt trail in an area developed in the late 1800s as an upscale Phoenix suburb.
One of the longer multi-use trails in Maricopa County, running ~36 miles between Mesa and Peoria along both sides of the Arizona Canal. It's ~9 miles north of downtown Phoenix, passes through Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale.
