In a hot, humid location like Kuala Lumpur, it's best to concentrate on shorter distance runs in the early morning. Two popular places to do this are the Lake Gardens west of the main train station; and the Ampang Park adjacent to the Petronas Towers (world's tallest buildings). Each site has rubberized tracks to minimize road shock impact, and has their own unique advantages. At the Lake Gardens, you can choose a hilly or nearly flat run of about 4 kilometers around small lakes, past groomed terraces, and through light jungle. Water and bathrooms are available. At the Ampang Park, also known as the Klcc Park, there is a 1300 meter track, with inspiring views of the Petronas Towers. It is a site that is 10 minutes away from many hotels.
