Tour My Run

Run Aix-en-Provence with a local

Aix is a city you run among plane trees, fountains and garrigue. At first light, the Cours Mirabeau is still empty and the sun slides over the ochre façades; Parc de la Torse unrolls its shaded stream in the heart of town, and in the distance Sainte-Victoire calls to legs that like to climb. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Torse loop, the old-town lanes, the trails around Lake Bimont, or the climb to the Croix de Provence. Not a sightseeing circuit: one hour with an Aixois who knows the right tempo, the shade and the best viewpoints.

Come, I'll take you running

To get taken running in Aix-en-Provence, book a run on TourMyRun: a local runner welcomes you and their group at a meeting point, and you set off along their route, at your own pace, for the length of a run — often around an hour. You never run alone, and there's nothing for you to organise.

Run like a local

Your guide is an Aixois who loves to run and knows the city and its hills. They pick the route to match your level and the heat of the day — flat Parc de la Torse to cruise, Sainte-Victoire trails for elevation and views. Many of our guides here are running-club members and Aix-Marseille University students who know every loop. You discover Provence on your own terms, at your pace.

Who to run with in Aix-en-Provence?

Looking for someone to run with in Aix-en-Provence? A local is ready to go. Rather than running alone in a city you don't know, you join a resident who already runs this ground: they open up their route, match the pace to yours, and show you the city on the move.

Discover Aix-en-Provence on an easy-paced run

Not here for the performance? Many guides offer an easy-paced discovery run — a gentle jog, almost at walking pace, to see the city without racing through it. You stop at the viewpoints and take the time to look: it's a way to discover Aix-en-Provence on the move with a local, at a pace that lets you take everything in.

Can you run in a group in Aix-en-Provence?

Yes. On TourMyRun, a run is led by a local who welcomes a small group of runners: you join others — visitors or locals — for a shared group run, without ever having to run alone. It's the group of a TourMyRun run, led by a resident — not an outside club or crew.

FAQ — Running in Aix-en-Provence

Do I have to pay?

Your guide is a passionate amateur, not a professional. They are not paid: what you pay covers the organisation and a contribution towards the costs they incur — never a wage, never a service contract. It's a run between runners, not a ticketed tour.

Do I have to tackle the Sainte-Victoire climbs?

Only if you want to. In town and at Parc de la Torse it’s flat and easy; the Sainte-Victoire trails ask for some elevation. Each listing shows the profile, distance and pace, and your guide adapts to your level.

How long is a run?

Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.

Can I run early or on weekdays?

Yes. Guides in Aix-en-Provence often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day.

I run in Aix-en-Provence — can I become a guide?

Absolutely. If you know your routes by heart and enjoy running with others, you can offer your runs and choose your slots. It's voluntary: your costs are covered, never a wage.
