From downtown over river. Entire route with little incline. After the bridge, turn right along the road, on the cycle path. Hardly any cars on Sundays. It's OK. Single-family houses on the left. After 5km road there is park. A lot of joggers here. Very good for running. From my point of view good running distance.
