running path

Track for joggers

A running path is a designated route or trail for jogging and running, typically paved or surfaced for comfortable footing.

Running paths wind through parks, along waterfronts, or circle athletic fields: The running path around the reservoir is about a mile and a half.

Distinguished from hiking trails by their smoother surfaces and from sidewalks by their recreational purpose.
