Where to Run on Long Island

Whether you're practicing for your next marathon or are looking to take a quick jog, Long Island is filled with trails of all terrains to suit your needs. Take a hike along the water, or have your furry friend join you on your next run by taking a dog-friendly path. If you're taking mass transit, be sure to check out Transit to Trails, the Long Island Railroad's newest initiative to encourage riders to visit local parks and hiking trails using only public transportation.

Compete in one of Long Island's annual marathons to truly prove your skills among fellow runners. See the Great South Bay when you sprint in the Suffolk County Marathon, or test your endurance by competing in the Ironman 70.3 New York competition at Jones Beach.
