Just west of Parque General San Martín, those who like hills will be rewarded with the run up the Cerro de la Gloria. A switchback trail leads for ~1 km, climbing ~100m, to the monument of San Martin (Monumento al Ejército de Los Andes). There are great views!
For more, there are some other windy roads in the Cerro de la Gloria area — some with better shoulders for pedestrians than others. And just to the south, there are additional hilly trails off the Bajada del Cerro near the Pump Track playground. This area is popular enough for trail running that there’s a Mendoza Trail Running Academy.

A 'runseeing' tour of the central part of Mendoza, with its wide, tree-lined streets and numerous green squares. We've mapped a shorter 'central squares' route and longer route adding the Quinta neighborhood to Parque General San Martín.
The iconic running spot in Mendoza. The expansive urban park features a lake, a rose garden & tree-lined promenades lined with statues. The popular lake loop is ~2.5 km, and the other roads have paths alongside. Add with Cerro de Gloria.
Not the most scenic, but one of the best opportunities for a longer off-road run in Mendoza. The paved multi-use path starts downtown and heads south for up to 6.3 km into the Godoy Cruz area, terminating near Parque Benegas.
