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.

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.
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.

Your guide is a passionate amateur, not a professional. What you pay covers the organisation and a contribution to your guide's time and expenses — not a commercial service. It's a run between runners, not a ticketed tour.
