Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Bordeaux is a city you run along the Garonne, on listed, perfectly flat quays. At daybreak the Place des Quinconces and the Miroir d’eau are still quiet, the pale stone glows, and the banks run away on both sides of the river. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the left-bank quays to the Pont de Pierre, the renatured Parc aux Angéliques on the right bank, the Parc Bordelais loops, the Jardin Public avenues. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Bordelais who knows the best links — flat and fast — and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Bordeaux, 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 is a Bordelais who loves to run and knows every quay and park in the city. Since Bordeaux is very flat, they play with distance and scenery rather than elevation — fast quays, green parks, northern docks. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Bordeaux students who know their loops by heart.
Looking for someone to run with in Bordeaux? 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 Bordeaux 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.
