Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Copenhagen is a city built for running: flat, turned towards the water, laced with cycle paths and waterfronts where bikes stream past at dawn. In the early morning, the loop around the Lakes (Søerne) unrolls a smooth ribbon through the heart of the city, the harbour catches the light and Fælledparken fills with runners. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the three-lake loop from Dronning Louises Bro, the full harbour tour (Havneringen) linking Islands Brygge, Christianshavn and Holmen, the paths of Fælledparken, the Amager Strandpark seafront facing the Øresund, or the wild trails of Amager Fælled where you cross paths with deer and cattle a stone's throw from the centre. 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 right bridges, the shortcuts along the water and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Copenhagen, 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 Copenhagener who loves to run and knows the city inside out. They adjust the pace and distance to your level and pick the route to suit the moment and the weather — the Lakes to cruise on the flat, the harbour for the light on the water, Amager Fælled for nature a stone's throw from the centre. Many of our Copenhagen guides are running-club members and sports students who know every training loop by heart. You discover the real Copenhagen — the waterfronts and bridges you can't see from a bus — and often leave with a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in Copenhagen? 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 Copenhagen 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.
