One of the best areas to run in Lilongwe is to enjoy the roads in Areas 10/12/43. These areas are adjacent to each other and feature numerous embassies, large residences, lodges, restaurants and cafés. It is generally a safe and pleasant area to run, with wide streets and limited traffic (apart from the main roads). Some of the residential streets are especially lush, with a nice canopy and shade. There are several cafes and breakfast stops to enjoy post-run! Our thanks to Martine van Schoor for suggesting this route!
We recommend creating your own route, staying east of the M1 and off the main roads.
