Where do East Village residents usually run?

Question

Are there any good places to run outdoors at or nearby East Village?

Answer 1

My apartment is in St. Marks & 1st, near Tompkins Square park. I run there and see a lot of NYU students running there. You can also run in East River Park.

Often I bike around Central Park. You can take the train to Central Park and run there.  

Answer 2

You can run along the East River Park along the FDR drive.

They have a nice running track there at East 6th Street:
