Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Barcelona isn't only meant to be admired with the Sagrada Família in view — it's meant to be run. At first light, when the Passeig Marítim is still empty and the Mediterranean throws back the first glow, the city reveals a different side of itself. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the flat, rolling Barceloneta seafront out to the Fòrum, the shaded paths of Parc de la Ciutadella, the climbs of Montjuïc facing the port and its Olympic landmarks, or the famous balcony of the Carretera de les Aigües, cut into the Collserola hillside with the whole city at your feet. Not a sightseeing coach, not a random jog around your hotel: one hour of running with someone who lives here, at your pace, who knows the right turns, the quiet hour and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Barcelona, 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.

Get the free guideYour guide isn't a service provider — they're a Barcelonan who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level, pick the route to suit the moment — flat seafront to cruise, Montjuïc or the Bunkers for elevation, Carretera de les Aigües for a quiet escape — and share the Barcelona you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our guides here are running-club members and sports students (INEFC, right on Montjuïc) who know their training loops by heart. You leave with a real memory — and often a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in Barcelona? 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.
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 Barcelona on the move with a local, at a pace that lets you take everything in.
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.
Public, well-known routes you can run on your own — a solid plan B to get moving right away. But the best of TourMyRun is still discovering them with a local who takes you, at your pace.
The paved, flat Passeig Marítim runs along the beaches out to the Fòrum park, dotted with fountains and benches. The Barcelona runners' favourite, stunning at first light.
Start : Barceloneta, by the port / L'Aquàrium
A long gravel balcony cut into the Collserola hillside along an old aqueduct: near-flat for miles, with the whole city and the sea below. The great local classic, shaded and rolling.
Start : Peu del Funicular (FGC lines S1/S2) then the funicular
A flat, shaded loop among palm trees, ponds and the Cascada, right in the centre. Perfect for an easy jog or stacking quiet morning laps.
Start : Arc de Triomf / Passeig de Lluís Companys
Climb through the gardens up to the Olympic ring and the castle, with plunging views over the port. Real elevation rewarded by the panoramas — ideal for strength work.
Start : Plaça d'Espanya / Magic Fountain
