Tour My Run

Run Dijon with a local

Dijon is a city you run among formal gardens, a canal and vineyards close by. To the west, Lac Kir unrolls a flat loop at the water’s edge; Parc de la Colombière lines up avenues designed by Le Nôtre along the Burgundy canal; and the Combe à la Serpent hides a wooded valley at the city gates. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Lac Kir loop, the Colombière avenues, the Jardin de l’Arquebuse, the combe trails. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Dijonnais who knows the good paths — flat or hilly — and the right tempo.

Come, I'll take you running

To get taken running in Dijon, 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.

Run like a local

Your guide is a Dijonnais who loves to run and knows the parks, the canal and the valleys around the city. They pick Lac Kir or La Colombière to cruise on the flat, or the Combe à la Serpent for a touch of nature and elevation, depending on your level. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Burgundy students who know every loop.

Who to run with in Dijon?

FAQ — Running in Dijon

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.

Is it flat?

Most of it is flat: Lac Kir, Parc de la Colombière, the Burgundy canal. The Combe à la Serpent adds elevation and trails. Each listing shows the profile and pace, and your guide adapts to your level.

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 Dijon often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day.

I run in Dijon — 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.
