Hi johncleming
Why not try the walking/runing track by king Fahad medical city? This is less than 1 km from olaya.
There are some other alternatives as far as I know one of which is the king Abdullah rd one.
Cheers

Just a few months left for doing outside running or should I say days. Guess here in Riyadh, it's always advisable to run indoors in a controlled environment !!

BTW, DQ is your best bet for running in this weather !!

if an oval running track and swimming pool is what you want, it is available at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Olympic Complex. not very near olaya.15 minute drive on a lazy weekend morning. you'll find tennis courts, football field, bowling area, just some of the activities you can do there.
