İzmir is rainy for only 80 days a year, which means it is like a paradise for those who like to run. It is possible to find long running trails in almost every corner of the city. If you prefer to run in the fresh air rather than getting stuck in a gym, you can take a look at our list of the best jogging and running trails in İzmir.
Kordon
We recommend you to run at Kordon, which conquers the hearts not only with its sunset view but also with its uninterrupted 2-kilometer long tartan track for jogging and running track. The track starting from Konak Pier and extending to Alsancak Train Station is accompanied by a magnificent view of the Gulf.
İnciraltı City
Forest It is one of the rare places to run which is surrounded by nature and the sea at the same time. The best part of your run will be that moment when you’ll jump into the sea when you’re finished! The forest offers asphalt and dirt trails. We recommend you to run these trails in the daylight.
