Cubbon Park
Are you even a runner if you haven’t taken a couple of laps at this iconic park? Rightly called the Lung Area of Bangalore, this is definitely the perfect spot for runners. It gives you both trail and road route running options, and if you touch all the exit gates of the park, you can do a good 5km circuit. On any given morning, you can see a lot happen around you - from art installations to heritage buildings, to elderly gentlemen and gossipy housewives, and to dog parks and laughter clubs. We suggest you strap on a pair of ASICS METARIDE, which is built with a seamless curvature on the sole and test your endurance for long runs.
