In honor of the 2026 Winter Olympics, we've created this route in the area of the Olympic Village in Porta Romana. Not the most scenic run ever, but a decent 8k stitching together several small parks, green spaces, and a running track.

In Spandau, a 3 km scenic path along the Havel River, with nice water views. Just west, the Bullengraben is a revitalized green corridor that runs along a narrow canal for 4 km. It's a mix of restored biotopes, some woods, and sports fields.
The 260-acre Kiest Park Conservation Area is a pleasant spot for easy off-road running in the Oak Cliff area. There's a loop trail around the park with 2.3 & 3.5 mile options. Combination of meadows, athletic fields, some woodland.
Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most scenic off-road runs in the Newport area. Great views of dunes and Block Island Sound. A loop is 2.5 miles, with good add-ons. Note this is a popular birding area.
Good opportunity for a long distance off-road run near downtown. Paved multi-use path extend for nearly 14 miles along both banks of the (mainly dry) Santa Cruz River. Gradual downhill headed north, uphill headed south.
A worth-it destination 20 miles east of Hood River. Paved multi-use path runs for 7.3 miles from the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center east to The Dalles, a historic town along the Columbia River. A mix of Columbia River views, verdant hills, & some industrial sections.
Extensive network of wide forest trails in Roetgen -- a small village in the Nordeifel, ~20 km south of Aachen. We've mapped a 7.2 km loop, but there are many other options.
Wildlife Refuge located 11 miles north of Atlantic City has some very scenic running among its 47,000 acres of coastal habitat. There's a runnable 'driving tour', which features wonderful views of the wetlands. The Songbird Trail is also very scenic for running.
A few spots for waterfront running on this hilly island: Best option is in the town of Andros, but there are also some nice sections in Mpatsi, and between Gavrio and Kipri.
