Tour My Run

Run Angers with a local

Angers is a city you run along the Maine, among meadows, reed beds and its château. To the west, Lac de Maine and its leisure park unroll a big flat loop at the water’s edge; Île Saint-Aubin offers a breath of wild air a step from the centre, and Parc de Balzac ties it together along the banks. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Lac de Maine loop, the Maine banks, the Île Saint-Aubin meadows, the lanes of La Doutre. Not a standard circuit: one hour with an Angevin who knows the good paths and the right tempo.

Come, I'll take you running

To get taken running in Angers, 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 Angevin who loves to run and knows the Maine inside out. They pick a flat, green route to match your level — the lake loop, the banks or the wild island — and show you the natural Angers of meadows and water. Many of our guides here are running-club members and students who know every training loop.

Who to run with in Angers?

FAQ — Running in Angers

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.

Is it flat?

Yes, most of it is flat: Lac de Maine, the Maine banks, Île Saint-Aubin and the parks are rolling and accessible. Each listing shows 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 Angers often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day.

I run in Angers — 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.
