This web of trails to the northwest of downtown Moscow provides endless combinations for a running ramble around the Moscow Canal and its surrounding lakes. Most of the paths are dirt or gravel. The gentler and most accessible trails are around the lakes and Administration area in the southeast of the park, making for a good 4.4 km loop. Or, wander along the many other trails in the park, some of which are in better shape than others. This is a good spot for those who prefer trail running. The park might be pretty for running in the winter months, but the trails are not ‘maintained’, so they could be snowy or icy.

Other Routes in Moscow, Russia
A 4.8 km (3 mile) loop around some of Moscow’s top sites, from the Alexander Gardens, to Red Square and the Kremlin, to Christ the Church Cathedral and back to Red Square. The ~1 km of trails in the spectacular new Zaradye Park is a great add-on.
Probably the most popular area for running in Moscow, Gorky Park is a wide open space which connects to the scenic Moskva River Embankments. We've put together a River Embankment route, but it's also possible to enjoy 2-3 km around the park's paths.
A terrific run in central Moscow combining paths along the north side of the Moscow River and the adjacent Luzhniki Olympic Complex. It can be run separately, or combined with paths along the south side of the river. Also, two running tracks!
A wonderful 10.5 km 'runseeing' tour of Moscow, following a series of linear parks paralleling the inner ring road around the city core. Many important buildings, sites, monuments, museums. A 3 km linear park at the northern end is a nice add-on.
Good running in the Presnensky, Moscow's business district. A 7.5 km loop along the river and some green spaces, with views of some of Moscow’s coolest modern buildings, including the Imperial Tower and the World Trade/business district.
One of the largest green spaces in Moscow, with long straight, tree-lined paved paths radiating out from the park's center. You can trace a “fan” on these paths, or enjoy other alleys and paths crisscrossing the park. Can easily put together 10 km or more.
These two neighboring parks in the western part of Moscow are great for running. One can easily put together a ~10 km run, combining 3 km along the river with the interior paths. Combination of paved and gravel.
Popular park with runners in the Severnoye Tushino district. The park is long and narrow, paths along the Moscow Canal and the that are a combination of wooded and open. Park loop is 6.2 km, add-on of 3.3 km in linear park west of the Museum.
Two neighboring parks that are good for running in the Levoberezhny District. Riverport Park runs along the Moscow canal, but most of the 3 km of paths are interior. Druzhby Park has paths around ponds and features statues and sculptures. A loop around both parks is 5.8 km.
Large urban green space in the Ostankinsky District, with several km of mainly wooded paths. As part of this we also like running the impressive 2km plaza around the Exhibition Centre.
Large & recently redeveloped park that runs north-south between the MKAD & CBX roads. 20 km of interior park paths & 17 km of paths along the Yauza River. Plus other recreation facilities!
