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.

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.
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
