Marikina Riverbanks Walkway

Creative Commons: Ralff Nestor Nacor

The Marikina Riverbanks Walkway offers one of the best places for a longer off-road run in metro Manila. Located in the eastern part of the city, the paved multi-use trail follows the Marikina River for 3.5 km, with the option to add another 1.5 km along traffic-free Lopez Jaena St. The area has a park-like feel, with some views of the narrow river along the way.

There are two good places to start this run: Marikina Riverbanks Park, near the Riverbanks Center shopping mall; or Marikina River Park, off General Malvar St. From either of these spots, use our route map to head north or south along the river trail.

Add-Ons: Running Track at Marikina Sports Center. Take A. Bonifacio Ave. off Lopez Jaena St.
