Medellín Road Run: Circuito Transversales

Google Street View

Locals like doing the ‘Transversales’ loop as a good way to get in an easy-to-follow road run incorporating some hills. The loop follows Transversale Superior & Transversale Inferior in the hilly El Poblado neighborhood, for a loop of nearly 10 km. These are busy roads, but there’s a decent sidewalk, a nice tree canopy, and not many turns. Bonusrunning track at Colegio Marymount.

Our route starts near Colegio Marymount, and follows T. Superior north, then a brief section on Av. Las Palmas and then south on T. Inferior. At the 4 km mark, the road turns into Calle 32 & C.34, then looping back on C.25B to T. Superior.

Essentials
  • 9.6 km (6 miles) loop,
  • 184m (606 feet)
  • Colegio Marymount

First time visitor to Medellin, and are staying right off this route. Did a very similar loop this morning, apparently not early enough. The steep hills were fun, but the traffic made for a ton of stops and iffy road crossings. If this is one of the best runs in the city- wow, no offense, but you’ve got a brutal running city. Weather was nice tho. Will explore more the next few days. Thanks for creating this web site.
