Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Lisbon is a city you run between the water and the hills. Down low, the Tagus unrolls kilometres of flat, sunlit waterfront, from Praça do Comércio to the Belém Tower, under the 25 de Abril bridge. Up high, the city of seven hills climbs and pays back every effort with a miradouro and a view over ochre rooftops and the estuary. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Tagus quays at first light, the Parque das Nações boardwalks that almost float on the water, the paths of Monsanto — the city's green lung — or the cobbles and stairways of Alfama up to São Jorge castle. 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 links, the shade at the right moment and the tempo that holds on the climb.

Get the free guideYour guide isn't a service provider — they're a Lisboeta who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They pick the route to match your level and the moment — flat waterfront to cruise, hills and miradouros for the view, Monsanto for green and elevation — and share the Lisbon you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our Lisbon guides are running-club members and sports students who know their training loops by heart, and beat the heat by aiming for sunrise. You leave with a real memory — and often 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.
A flat, rolling waterfront along the Tagus, past the Docas and the Padrão dos Descobrimentos to the Belém Tower, under the 25 de Abril bridge. The reference route for flat, fast running.
Start : Praça do Comércio / Ribeira das Naus
Boardwalks and promenade right along the water, from the Expo 98 district under the Vasco da Gama bridge to Parque do Tejo. Flat, modern, ideal for a quiet long run.
Start : Marina de Lisboa / Passeio de Neptuno (Parque das Nações)
The green corridor links Parque Eduardo VII to Monsanto forest; link it with the park trails (Rota da Água, PR13) for elevation and estuary views.
Start : North end of Parque Eduardo VII (Rua Marquês de Fronteira)
A great sloping lawn in the heart of Lisbon: wide paths, a solid climb and a plunging view over the city and river from the top. Perfect for a punchy morning run.
Start : Marquês de Pombal, bottom of the park
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.
Only if you want to. The Tagus waterfront and Parque das Nações stay flat and rolling; the miradouros and Monsanto bring the climbs. Each listing shows the profile, distance 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.
Yes — and it's recommended: Lisbon guides often offer sunrise slots to beat the heat and the crowds, as well as weekday slots — ideal between visits.
Absolutely. If you know your routes by heart and enjoy running with others, you can offer your runs, choose your slots and receive a contribution for your time.
