Where to run in Valencia

It is the city's green lung, a garden that crosses from west to east with over 9 kilometers ideal for running thanks to its paved or dirt paths, surrounded by gardens, fountains, and pine forests. Between the Nou d’Octubre Bridge (Cabecera Park) and Gulliver Park, you will find the Circuit 5K Jardí del Turia, a 5,731-meter track with a specific surface to cushion the impact of running.

Surrounding the city, the Huerta (farmland) of Valencia offers a green space for sports. The fields of Campanar, its neighbor Benicalap, Torrefiel, La Punta, or Alboraia offer trails connecting the fields for a more rural running experience. Take advantage of your run to stop (or stretch!) and admire the seasonal products that change the landscape throughout the year.

The route begins at the Nou d’Octubre Bridge and is a circular path with different trails. The surface is dirt, and along its 2.4 kilometers, it features ramps and steps. It connects with the Turia Fluvial Park.

This is the city's most nautical route, covering the entire inner harbor of La Marina de Valencia along 2.85 kilometers of asphalt or concrete. You can connect this route with the Promenade (along the boardwalk or the sand of Malvarrosa Beach), adding another 2.40 kilometers.

An area with paths crossing extensive pine forests and ancient dunes, between the Albufera and the Mediterranean Sea.

Starting from the City of Arts and Sciences, another 6.6-kilometer route runs along the South Boulevard until it reaches the General Hospital.

Adjacent to the Alboraia farmland, where the tiger nut used for horchata grows, this route is for runners looking for more natural paths. 4.05 kilometers starting from Avenida de Catalunya at Avenida dels Tarongers and reaching the Joan XXIII Avenue junction. Connect this to the Tarongers Circuit: 2.2 kilometers with distance markers every 100 meters, two stretching and strength training areas, four hydration fountains, and 91 trees to improve the environment and increase shaded areas.

You have short routes in some of the city's parks, such as the West Park (Parque del Oeste), the Viveros Gardens, or the newest addition to Valencia's green zones: the Central Park (Parque Central).
