Typically, the streets of Hyderabad are not ideal for running. But if you do feel the need to get out and explore a neighborhood on foot, the Cantonment area of Secunderabad is a good choice. This civic administrative area has well-maintained streets and infrastructure, as well as a number of architecturally interesting government buildings. Runners who want to get off the city streets can venture into Cantonment Park and the Parade Grounds to run in an area free from traffic. You might even take a jaunt around the nearby cricket pitch. We’ve mapped a 3.5 km loop featuring the best side of the Cantonment, but feel free to explore further on a DIY run.
