A relaxing running route from the airport to the Rhine, through the Rhine meadows and the beautiful Lantz’scher Park. The first 5 kilometers run through a suburban setting with wide sidewalks and good lighting. Along the Rhine, the surroundings become more natural, but are no longer lit.

Alternative route for fast runners (highspeed approved):

There are basically three parallel paths along the Rhine: The one right next to the Rhine is quite overgrown. The middle one – the one I chose – starts as a narrow paved path but eventually becomes a narrow trail as well. If you’d rather pick up the pace, you can also take the easternmost, well-paved path on the Lohauser Deich – but you’ll need to watch out a bit for fast cyclists.

A beautiful route along the coast and around Duna da Cresmina. Note: Some running apps will direct you onto paths through the dune, but it is closed off. And: After kilometer 10, it may seem as though you are running onto the private property of the Quinta da Marinha Health Club; however, this is a public path. Simply cross the parking lot straight ahead onto the small path, and you’ll soon see the ochre-colored buildings of the Sheraton Hotel.

A surprisingly idyllic running route starting at the popular Aviation Hotel and circling Farnborough Airport. The southern section, which follows a small stream and winds through a wooded area, is particularly beautiful. There are several alternative routes here, so you can adjust the distance as needed.
