Geneva is a city you run along Lake Geneva, the Jet d’eau and Mont-Blanc as your backdrop. The quays unroll flat, sunlit kilometres, the Eaux-Vives and La Grange parks line the water with lawns and rose gardens, and the Rhône banks run down to the Jonction with the Arve. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the harbour quays at dawn, the lakeside parks, the Bois de la Bâtie trails, the course of the Rhône. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Genevois who knows the best links and the right tempo, between lake and river.

Get the free guideYour guide is a Genevois who loves to run and knows the lake, the Rhône and the city’s parks. They pick the quays and parks to cruise on the flat, or the Bois de la Bâtie for a touch of elevation and forest, depending on your level. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Geneva students who know every loop by the water.
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.
Most of it is flat: the lake quays, the lakeside parks, the Rhône banks. The Bois de la Bâtie adds a little elevation and forest. Each listing shows the profile and pace, and your guide adapts to your level.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
