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.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Lisbon, 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 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.
Looking for someone to run with in Lisbon? A local is ready to go. Rather than running alone in a city you don't know, you join a resident who already runs this ground: they open up their route, match the pace to yours, and show you the city on the move.
Not here for the performance? Many guides offer an easy-paced discovery run — a gentle jog, almost at walking pace, to see the city without racing through it. You stop at the viewpoints and take the time to look: it's a way to discover Lisbon on the move with a local, at a pace that lets you take everything in.
Yes. On TourMyRun, a run is led by a local who welcomes a small group of runners: you join others — visitors or locals — for a shared group run, without ever having to run alone. It's the group of a TourMyRun run, led by a resident — not an outside club or crew.
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. 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.
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 and choose your slots. It's voluntary: your costs are covered, never a wage.
Book a run on TourMyRun: a local runner takes you along their route and matches the pace to yours. You pick a slot, meet them at the meeting point, and run with company.
Yes — every TourMyRun run is led by a local who welcomes a small group. You join other runners for a shared run, and never run alone.
With a resident who knows the city. They open up their routes and their group: you discover Lisbon like a local, not like a tourist.
Yes. Some guides offer an easy-paced discovery run, almost at walking pace, with stops at the viewpoints — to see the city on the move, at your own pace.
