A 'runseeing' tour of Kuala Lumpur that hits many key sites: KJLCC Park, Kampung Baru, Heritage, Little India, Merdeka Square/River of Life, Petaling Street, Bukit Bintang, and some of the world's tallest buildings!

Botanical Gardens within 170-acre Tun Abdul Razak Heritage Park are wonderful for running. Several km of paths along and around 10 different types of gardens, or 'collections'. Also some hills and stairs. Free, and open 7am-8pm.
Lovely place to run in the Titiwangsa area near the National Art Gallery. There's a scenic ~3 km loop around Titiwangsa Lake, and additional paths through a lush tree canopy.
One of the best opportunities to do some off-road hill running in KL, also some trail running. The park is located in one of the city's affluent suburbs. Create your own route, or do the challenging 5k Hill Walk Loop or the 2 km Bukit Kiara Trail.
Pleasantly landscaped park in a newly developed residential area in the western part of the city, with a small lake at its center. There's a marked 2.2 km track that's popular with runners. For a hilly add-on, run the "DPC Hill" to Ridgewood.
Wonderful 3.8 km loop around a lake on a dedicated path in this park 15 km north of central KL. Nice canopy and water views. Special surface for running! Popular park for kite flying as well. Some offshoot paths can add a couple of km.
Located 16 km northwest central KL, the FRIM is one of the world's leading institutions in tropical forestry research. Running is allowed on the main roads, which make for a lovely route of about 7.5 km. Somewhat hilly.
This suburb, developed for the 1998 Commonwealth Games, has some good running. A good 3.5 km loop is around Bukit Komanwel Park and the path around the National Stadium. Bukit Kalil Park offers pleasant trails for a ~2 km loop.
A running destination for those visiting KL! 30+ km of lakefront paths,lovely parks, and impressive bridgesd & architecture. Putrajaya is Malaysia's administrative center, between KL & the airport and reached by zippy train.
One of the world's largest botanical gardens, about an hour drive from KL. 2,000+ acre park and agroforestry center is a great 'destination run'. Hilly roads and trails lead through lush foliage, fruit trees, 10 different gardens, and more.
