Other Routes in Cincinnati, OH
The bridges connecting Cincinnati to Newport are a quintessential part of the city and offer great views of the skyline. We’ve put together a Two Bridge and a Four Bridge loop.
The Newport waterfront offers a 3.8 miles of riverfront running, mostly on a dedicated pedestrian trail. Can be combined with the Cincinnati riverfront and the four main bridges connecting Cincinnati and Newport.
The longest section for running along the riverfront, includes numerous parks including Friendship Park. Nice water views. Can combine with bridges & Newport Waterfront.
Great America Ballpark and Paul Brown Stadium are two relatively new stadiums connected by a nice park/path along the waterfront, which makes for a terricic ‘stadium loop’ with great river views.
The most popular park in Cincinnati, with many important cultural landmarks and lovely running trails. We've put together a lovely 4.6 mile run. Other good running spots nearby.
Some favorite residential neighborhoods for running in Cincinnati include Clifton, Hyde Park, and Mariemont. For more suburban running, explore the winding country roads of the affluent Indian Hill neighborhood.
Located 6 miles east of downtown. 5-mile loop trail encircling Lunken Municipal. Can be combined 2 mile loop in “The Otto” Park and a 2.5 mile trail along the Little Miami River.
A nice park with views of the skyline and the Ohio river, across the river from Cincinnati in Covington, KY, and near the airport.
A nice run in the Northside neighborhood, combining the 2-mile Mill Creek Greenway and the bucolic Spring Grove Cemetery. The 1840s cemetery has sprawling grounds and an arboretum. It's permissible to run there, and popular!
2,500 acre park, 20 miles north of downtown. Favorite is the 1.7 mile Harbor Loop Trail around the lake. We have a long loop around the Greenhills neighborhood. Some nice residential running in the country club area between Winton Rd. and Lakeview Dr.
Great option for a longer off-road option. This paved multi-use trail follows the outline of the Little Miami River for up to 75 miles, north to Springfield. Lovely small towns and fields of corn and soybeans.
