3 best running routes in Manhattan 🏃🏼‍♀️

I am currently training for the New York City Marathon this fall and sometimes in a city as big as New York it can be daunting navigating the people, traffic and business on a run. Over the past couple of years of living here, these have become three of my fave running spots in Manhattan.

West Side Highway - The WSH is always poppin, which makes it feel safer to run on during the morning or evening hours! It’s also beautiful, with a view of the water. And hellloooo hotties… so many attractive people run along the WSH which can be some added motivation hahah

East River - Currently undergoing construction, but otherwise a really nice running path blocked off from cars.

East River Park

Riverside Park - Riverside Park has lots of trees and greenery, providing shade during sunny days which is SO nice, especially in this blistering summer heat. It also has well maintained paths, making it easier and safer.

Bonus: These running paths are close to things to do and places to eat in NYC so after your run, you can easily explore nearby areas, grab a bite to eat, or take in the city's sights (as a treat!).

Where’s your favorite spot to walk or run in Manhattan?!
