It is a true runner's paradise. An incredibly large space with a coating and relief for every taste. You can use the main paths, or turn to the paths. At VDNG, you can also build a classic 5-km circle – completely asphalted and level, stretching through the territory of the Expo Center and reaching the forest. Thus, you can try both test runs and plan long cross-country races.

Holosiyivsʹkyy Park

• Distances (highway): 3.00, 3.4, 3.59, 3.79, 3.86 km.
• Distances (trail): 2.97, 3.56, 3.75, 3.83 km.

Running next to the water brings special pleasure. And there are two bodies of water on this route - the Rusanivsky Canal and a lake. So you can run around the lake in a circle of 2 kilometers with a special surface for running, and if you get bored, move to the Rusanivsky Canal and admire the famous fountains.

Obolonsʹka Naberezhna

• Distances (highway): 10.00 km.
• Surface: asphalt tracks

The route runs completely past the Dnipro and ends in the newly built Natalka Park, where you can do complex strength training on the grass or do yoga after the run. This route is most beautiful in the morning at sunrise. And along the entire route, there are many beaches, so at the end, you can diversify the run by swimming.

Stadiums for jogging

• Stadium "Athlete"
  The stadium is located almost in the center of the city - in the Pechersk district. There is a special artificial surface on the tracks, which is comfortable for running.
• "Spartak" Stadium
  "Spartak" stadium is one of the oldest stadiums in the city. It's not that cozy, but if you need a place to run, it's worth a look. The length of the paths with a special coating is 400 m.
• Stadium "Start"
  Another stadium that can be attributed to the category of veterans, is that it was built back in the 30s of the 20th century. It is very old, but if you need a place to train plus you live in the Lukyanivka area, this is your option.
