Running in Haifa

Updated: Aug 28, 2023

Running in Haifa

Haifa running was hard, not because of the hills but because there weren’t good paths near where we stayed. On my first run, I tried to run along the coast at the edge of German Colony, where the port is located. There’s no promenade and a lot of crosswalks, plus trucks pumping out diesel smoke. On the second run, I ran from Ben Gurion Blvd. up Hatzionut Blvd. to the very top of the Baha’i Gardens. 2 miles up, 2 miles down; total elevation change of 1400 ft. I have that route marked on the map below, starting with the pin on Ben Gurion Blvd. For city running, it wasn’t too bad – very few crosswalks, the sidewalk was reasonably wide and the worst problem was the cars parked on the sidewalk.
