If you are looking for a moderate jogging route with a mix of urban and natural scenery, the Tempe Town Lake Loop is a great choice. This paved path takes you around the lake, offering tranquil water views on one side and the vibrant downtown Tempe skyline on the other. You will cover 5.4 miles (8.6 km) with a minimal elevation gain of 34 feet (10 metres), making it a comfortable run that typically takes around 53 minutes to complete.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as the paths are open daily from 5 AM to midnight. A significant advantage of this route is that it is well-lit at night, which can be particularly useful if you prefer to jog during the cooler evening hours in warmer months. You can easily access the loop from Tempe Beach Park, making it a convenient option for a quick workout.
Beyond the exercise, the Tempe Town Lake Loop offers more than 20 pieces of public art along the way, adding visual interest to your run. You can also spot the distinctive Elmore Pedestrian Bridge and catch glimpses of the distant Papago Mountains, providing a unique backdrop to the urban environment. This route stands out for its blend of accessibility, art, and scenic views within the city.
