Think you can’t run outdoors just because you live in an urban area? Think again. The Bay Area has great weather, plenty of trails, and a pedestrian-friendly attitude, perfect for exploring as part of a jog or bike ride.

To help you find your new favorite running route, fitness tracking app Strava unveiled a world map that reveals user exercise patterns around the world. We’ve studied the map and rounded up the most popular running destinations in the Bay Area.

San Francisco

According to the map, most San Francisco city blocks see their fair share of outdoor fitness. Major streets like lower Market Street, which stretches through Duboce Triangle, Hayes Valley, and Lower Haight neighborhoods, glow brightly on the map, indicating the thoroughfare is popular among bikers and runners alike.

It seems San Francisco residents also like exercising in close proximity to professional athletes. Kezar Stadium, an outdoor athletics stadium next to Haight-Ashbury, glows in a white oval on the map, revealing a strong preference amongst runners.

South Bay

South Bay residents have plenty of open spaces and hiking trails at their disposal, and some of the most frequented are Windy Hill Open Space Preserve in Portola Valley, The Dish in Stanford, and Huddart Park near Woodside. Further south in Campbell, bikers and joggers flock to the Los Gatos Creek Trail, which runs parallel to CA-17.

East Bay

East Bay residents gravitate toward the Bay Bridge’s new eastern span as the western side is not open to pedestrians and bikers. Those who get a workout on the Bay Bridge can simultaneously admire views of the water while zipping past clogged traffic during rush hour. The East Bay is also home to a whole host of parks and hikes that are popular, including Redwood Regional Park east of Piedmont, Strawberry Canyon east of Berkeley, and Lake Chabot by San Leandro. 

The Bay Bridge isn’t the only bridge that sees a good deal of two-wheelers and foot traffic. The Dumbarton Bridge is also an inviting spot, as it has a separated lane just for bikers and pedestrians along the south side.
