Tour My Run

Run Clermont-Ferrand with a local

Clermont-Ferrand is a city you run with volcanoes on the horizon. In town, the Jardin Lecoq and Parc de Montjuzet offer green loops and a panorama over the Chaîne des Puys; a few minutes away, the Puy de Dôme and its neighbours unfold a unique, UNESCO-listed trail playground. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Montjuzet hills, the Puy de Dôme ascent, the Gergovie plateau, the volcanic trails of the Chaîne des Puys. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Clermontois who knows the right elevation for your level and the right tempo, in town or on the volcanoes.

Come, I'll take you running

Run like a local

Your guide is a Clermontois who loves to run and knows both the city and the volcanoes. They pick the Jardin Lecoq to cruise on the flat or the Puy de Dôme and Chaîne des Puys for elevation and views, depending on your level and the season. Many of our guides here are running-club members, trail runners and Clermont Auvergne University students who live the volcanoes every day.

FAQ — Running in Clermont-Ferrand

Do I have to pay?

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.

Do I have to tackle the volcano climbs?

Only if you want to. In town, the Jardin Lecoq and the urban loops stay accessible; the Puy de Dôme and Chaîne des Puys are genuine trail terrain with real elevation. Each listing shows the profile, elevation gain and pace, and your guide adapts.

How long is a run?

Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.

Can I run early or on weekdays?

Yes. Guides in Clermont-Ferrand often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day.

I run in Clermont-Ferrand — can I become a guide?

Absolutely. If you know your routes by heart and enjoy running with others, you can offer your runs and choose your slots. It's voluntary: your costs are covered, never a wage.
