Le Havre is a city you run between sea, listed concrete and cliffs. The promenade runs dead straight along the pebble beach, Montgeon forest offers its great green lung on the heights, and the customs path climbs towards Sainte-Adresse above the bay of the Seine. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the seafront at dawn, the Montgeon tracks, the climb to the hanging gardens, the cliff path. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Havrais who knows the good paths — flat or climbing — and the right tempo facing the wind.

To get taken running in Le Havre, 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 is a Havrais who loves to run and knows the seafront, the forest and the cliffs of the city. They pick the promenade to cruise on the flat or Montgeon and Sainte-Adresse for a touch of elevation and views, depending on your level and the day’s wind. Many of our guides here are running-club members and Le Havre Normandy University students who know every loop.
