Do you know a good park or riverside for running? One suggestion was 沙湖公园, but it was from a western site and the route appeared to go along a main road which is less than ideal. If you do know one an amap link would be great
Riverside is usually a lot more crowded a lot more often. Off the top of my head, 菱角湖公园 has a recently done running/walking track with soft asphalt that’s not too out of the way. In fact it’s like a 3 min walk from 三眼桥 metro station. If it’s not a weekend, holiday or school pickup/drop off time it’s actually surprisingly space for being in the middle of a large city.
The twin lakes of 西北湖 has a running track that’s almost exactly 1.5km but the running track passes the back of a strip of bars, incl an international one where white people gather. So depending on when you’re running it could be pleasant or crowded with drunks. Ymmv with the white people, they range from cool leftists to completely disengaged from politics to reactionaries.
Otherwise, you’re in Wuhan, you’re never more than a few KM from a body of water, and all the lakes are public spaces.
