Weiwuying Park is a centrally located green oasis about 4 km east of the waterfront. The park is large enough to support a standalone run of a few km. There are pleasant paths around the park, a combination of open and shaded, paved and gravel. A loop around the perimeter is a little over 3 km (including Zhongzheng Park, but can be another 1-2 km using some of the interior paths. One of the highlights of the park is the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, an impressive facility containing four performance halls beneath an undulating roof inspired by local Banyan trees.
For a longer run, about 1 km east are Kaohsiung Fengshan Stadium and Fengxi Sports Park, with some paths and a decent running track.

The Love River is signature spot for running in Kaohsiung. There are paths/decent sidewalks for ~10 km, from the Lingyaliao Iron Bridge north to Smile Park. It's more park-like for 4 km north of "Heart of the Love River", with paths on both sides of the river.
This is a very pretty tour of Kaoshiung's extensive harbor. Our 8 km one-way route passes numerous piers and sites with great views of Xizi Bay. There are pedestrian paths or decent sidewalks along most of the route.
A 5-mile loop incorporating several small parks and some interesting sites in the central part of Kaohsiung City. Central Park, a section along the harbor, path along Chenggong 2nd Road, and a park passing the Main Library. Good as standalone or add-on to other routes.
For our favorite run in Kaohsiung City, take the quick ferry over to Cijin Island. Here you'll enjoy a 9+ km seamless waterfront run along a paved path with great views, also experiencing an old fort, lighthouse, and some of the island's historic streets.
Large, centrally located nature park with extensive series trails -- some runnable, others meant more for hiking. Running highlights include the challenging 'stair path' to the summit, Love Lookout, some good trail running, and some of the quieter roads with pretty vegetation.
