Many of the more bucolic neighborhoods and residential areas of Mexico City are in gated communities, but this is a selection of some attractive, accessible neighborhoods for running.
UNAM is the largest university in Latin America, and boasts one of the largest campuses in the world. This public campus, and the surrounding “University City,” make for a great run. We've mapped a 12 km loop, but good options to create your own.
This lengthy, paved multi-use path offers offers many km of off-road running for those in the southern neighborhoods of Mexico City.
Some nice running options in neighborhood parks: Parque Bicentenario (San Lorenzo); Alameda Oriente: (near the airport); La Mexican (Lomas de Santa Fe); Embarcadero Tezozomoc (Prados del Rosario).
Mexico City is a relatively huge urban sprawl, but that doesn’t make it impossible to get out of the city and enjoy some trail running.
