Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Caen is a flat city to run, between the Orne and the canal, watched over by William’s castle. La Prairie unrolls a vast green space in the heart of town, the Caen-to-sea canal runs dead straight towards Ouistreham, and the Colline aux Oiseaux offers its flowered gardens on the heights. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Prairie loop, the canal towpath, the Orne banks, the lanes of old Caen. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Caennais who knows the good, flat, rolling paths and the right tempo.

Since Caen is very flat, they play with distance and scenery — La Prairie, the canal to the sea, old Caen — rather than elevation. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Caen students who know every loop.
