Berlin is a flat, green, vast city — a running ground few capitals can match. At first light, when the Tiergarten is still silent and the sun filters through the trees, the city shows a different side of itself. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Tiergarten paths between the Brandenburg Gate and Schloss Bellevue, the sheer openness of the former Tempelhof airport and its 2 km runways, the Spree banks in front of the government quarter, the Berlin Wall Trail (Mauerweg) that tells the city's history kilometre by kilometre, or the forest paths of the Grunewald around the lakes. 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 best links, the quiet stretches and the right tempo.

To get taken running in Berlin, 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 Berliner 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 time of day — the flat Tiergarten avenues to cruise, the Tempelhofer Feld runways for pace, the Grunewald paths for nature — and share the Berlin you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our Berlin guides are running-club members and sports students 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 Berlin? 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 Berlin 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.
A flat, shaded loop through the great central park, almost no road crossings, between the Victory Column, Schloss Bellevue and the House of World Cultures. The Berlin runners' classic.
Start : Brandenburg Gate (Pariser Platz)
A large flat loop around the former airport, marked every 500 m — ideal for tempo or interval work. Two 2 km runways for straight-line efforts.
Start : Tempelhofer Damm or Columbiadamm entrance
A loop on shaded forest paths around the two lakes, west of the city. The nature escape reachable by S-Bahn from the centre.
Start : Schlachtensee S-Bahn (S1)
A flat canal-side ribbon with the Viktoriapark climb (Kreuzberg) for a touch of elevation and a viewpoint. Perfect for a quiet morning run.
Start : Kreuzberg, along the Landwehrkanal
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.
