दौड़ने के रूट कोलकाता
A city with a genuine athletics culture, an enormous central green, and a lake in the south that half the city runs around.
5रूट
Hot and very humid from March to October. The runnable season is short and sharp: mid-November to February. व्यावहारिक रूप से, गन टाइम: 05:00–07:00 almost all year. In winter the Maidan at first light is one of the best running scenes in India.

रूट
Every one of these is a public place to run that Kolkata runners actually use. Distances are approximate — park perimeters in particular vary by a few hundred metres depending on which path you take, so treat them as a guide and measure your own.
Rabindra Sarobar
Known simply as the Lakes. A network of paths around the water where the city's running clubs, rowers and swimmers all converge before dawn. The full outer circuit is roughly 3 to 4 km depending on the paths you link.
Maidan
A vast open green between Fort William and the Esplanade. There is no marked route — you choose lines across the grass or run the perimeter roads. Football pitches, horses and morning football coaching all share it.
Eco Park
A very large modern park with long uninterrupted paved circuits, which is exactly what the older parts of the city lack. Ticketed entry with fixed opening hours.
Victoria Memorial surrounds
The gardens and the roads circling the memorial link naturally into a Maidan run and give it a landmark to aim at.
Subhas Sarobar
The eastern counterpart to Rabindra Sarobar — quieter, smaller and much less known outside its own neighbourhood.

गर्मी, हवा और असल में कब बाहर निकलें
जलवायु। Hot and very humid from March to October. The runnable season is short and sharp: mid-November to February.
वायु गुणवत्ता। Winter air quality drops into the poor band regularly, driven by traffic and regional smoke. The Maidan and Rabindra Sarobar are better than the arterial roads, but they are not immune.
The timing advice for Kolkata — 05:00–07:00 almost all year. in winter the maidan at first light is one of the best running scenes in india. — is not a preference, it is the difference between a session that helps and one that costs you two days. Running moves several times more air through your lungs than sitting does, so a bad-air morning is a disproportionately bad time to train hard outdoors. The वायु गुणवत्ता गाइड बताता है कि हर CPCB बैंड का एक धावक के लिए क्या मतलब है, और भारतीय गर्मी में दौड़ना बताता है कि नमी आपकी गति पर क्या असर डालती है।
जिन सुबहों में रीडिंग कहती है कि बाहर न निकलें, उन दिनों भी सेशन कहीं न कहीं होना ही है: शहर के हिसाब से इनडोर रनिंग, और जिम-दर-जिम शोध की गई फ़ीस रेंज के साथ — वही गतिविधि, बस छत के नीचे।
