This is a nice run with lots of options for variation and for you to create your own route. Our route map is meant as a guide to put together a linear park loop of nearly 10 km.
Parco Public Pellerina is located about 5 km west of Turin City Center. It’s a popular public park, with numerous paths and other athletic facilities — a pool, gorgeous red clay tennis courts, and numerous fields. One could put together a loop of ~4 km around the park’s paths, which include some along the river and a couple of small lakes.
Wikipedia For a longer, linear park run, continue along the Dora River, through Parco di via Calabria, crossing Porto Potenza, into Parco Dora. This park is built on former industrial wasteland, and is more open, with modern structures and wide paths. One can run here for 1 km on the northern side of the Dora River, then cross over to the southern side, passing the Science Museum. Instead of a there and back, add to the loop with ~1 km of paths along the river, just south of the Hospital Amedeo di Savoia. In all, one could make this a ~10 km run.

Scenic path along the Po River, with views of important Turin sites and the mountains in the distance. It's up to 9 km one-way from Parco del Valentino to the A4. Pass through numerous parks, including Parco Coletta, Parco della Confluenza.
One of the signature running spots in Turin. There are paths along the river, and interior paths passing by Valentino Palace, numerous gardens and fountains, a recreated medieval town, sports fields, and museum. The park is 1.5 km from end-to-end.
A 'runseeing' tour of some of Turin's highlights, attempting to minimize the twists and turns! Via Roma, passing numerous important sights, the Piazza Castello, Colletta Park, Po River paths, and the University. Options for shorter route & lots of variation.
Gorgeous running in the second largest enclosed park in Europe! Create your own run on the beautifully landscaped grounds and paths around the baroque La Venaria Reale and Castello de La Mandria. Options for some wilder, more remote paths and small roads.
A verdant treat for running on the grounds of this former hunting lodge 10 km southwest of Turin. Anchored by the wide paths and grand gardens of the Palazzina, there straight shot roads/paths running through woodland and agricultural land, 5 km long and 4 km wide.
Wonderful views from this domed Basilica atop a 672m hill. Best bet for running is to take the cog railway to the summit, and run along the 'Panoramica' for a fairly flat 3 km to Monte Aman. The other trails are steeper and more challenging trail running.
This large park 8 km southeast of Turin has something for everyone: 45 km of roads and paths, an arboretum, botanical gardens, and a steep, hilly climb to the 715m summit, which features great views of Turin and the surrounding Alps.
A 5-miler incorporating two 'athletically-oriented' parks. Ruffini Park has tree-lined walking paths and an outdoor running track. Then run 2.5 km to the large Cavalieri di Vittorio Veneto Park, site of 1933 Olympic Stadium, a running track, fields, and paths.
