Walkers & runners: find a walking or running partner in Riyadh
A regular walk or run is one of the easiest ways to spend time with someone: no reservations, no bill, and plenty of time to talk. In Riyadh, evenings from October to April are perfect for it.
Where people do this in Riyadh
- Wadi Hanifah, with long walking paths through palms and water.
- The Sports Boulevard, whose first phase has opened paths for walking, running and cycling.
- Neighbourhood walkways and parks such as King Abdullah Park in Al Malaz and Salam Park.
How to find your people
- Agree on a pace and distance before you start, so nobody feels rushed.
- Pick a regular slot, such as Tuesday at 6:30 in the morning, and keep it.
- In summer, go before sunrise or after sunset, and carry water.
First plans for two
- An evening walk along Wadi Hanifah
- An early run before the heat
- A park loop followed by coffee
Good to know
Walk or run after sunset or early in the morning in the warmer months, and carry water.
