Favorite Runs in Panama City: Parque Omar

11/17/2015

3 Comments

 
​In addition to the hard-to-miss Cinta Costera, one of my favorite spots to walk, jog or run is Parque Omar. Further from most hotels and a bit off the tourist path, it is easy to miss. The Park’s 3.5km loop offers some gentle, mini-hills, a nice sampling of Panama’s plethora of tree species as well as some great green space for wind sprints and stretching.

​Before becoming Parque Omar, the space was home to Panama’s first golf club. In the 1970’s, under the rule of General Omar Torrijos, the club was made into a public park. As you run/explore, you’ll see numerous sculptures, artistic endeavors, and historic buildings.

​After your run, stop by one of the juice stands near the front of the park to try a new fruit (they have the widest range of juices I’ve seen in Panama City – have you ever heard of borojo?!) or go for the all-time, electrolyte-filled classic, the agua de pipa (coconut water).
 
The park is usually open from 4am to 10pm, but it is worthwhile to double-check the hours before heading out as the schedule occasionally changes for construction etc.
 
If you’re looking to run a race while in Panama, see: http://www.corredoresdelistmo.com/web/ Running is increasingly popular in Panama City, and it seems that there is a race almost every weekend!
 
Enjoy!!
