Running is generally a bad exercise in terms of the injury/body-wear to benefit ratio, especially if you're body isn't light and young. Better to combine walking/hiking with resistance exercises.

A lot of the forums I see recommending rucking as the best cardio exercise. Less likely to be injured by a turned ankle or knee than when you are running. Also it offers a great way to gradually increase difficulty.
My favorite is stair climbing, but it's very difficult to find publically accessible space (e.g. 20+ story building) to do this.
I have a Planet Fitness membership which is stupid cheap and they have stair machines. I guess a lot of people like them a lot. Also the treadmills are great if you increase the incline. Lets you get a workout without having to break into a run.
