Tour My Run!Tour My Run!London is a city you run more than you tour by bus. The moment the morning mist lifts off the Thames, the city changes face: the royal parks empty out, the riverside clears, and you understand why Londoners are a nation of runners. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Serpentine loop in Hyde Park, the Outer Circle of Regent's Park extended by the view from Primrose Hill, the South Bank from Westminster to Tower Bridge, the hills and deer of Richmond Park, or the wild paths of Hampstead Heath and the panorama from Parliament Hill. Not a double-decker sightseeing tour, not a random jog around your hotel: one hour of running with someone who lives here, at your pace, who knows the right paths, the green shortcuts and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in London, 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 Londoner who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level, pick the route to suit the time of day and the weather — a quiet royal park in the morning, the Thames path at blue hour — and share the London you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our London guides are running-club members (Serpentine, parkrun) and sports students who know their training loops by heart. You leave with a real memory — and often a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in London? 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 London 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.
The perimeter path of London's largest royal park: mixed surfaces, a few climbs, free-roaming deer and views over the Thames Valley. The reference route for west London runners.
Start : Richmond Gate (also reachable from Roehampton, Kingston or Sheen Gate)
The big, flat, rolling loop around the park, a favourite with morning runners. Easy to extend by climbing Primrose Hill for the skyline view.
Start : Chester Road / near Baker Street
A flat, paved riverside walk along the Thames, almost car-free, past the London Eye, Tate Modern and the Shard to Tower Bridge. Great as an out-and-back at sunrise.
Start : Westminster Bridge, south bank
The combined loop of the two royal parks: the Serpentine, the big lawns, Speakers' Corner and the tree-lined avenues of Kensington. Flat, safe and central, perfect for an easy run.
Start : Hyde Park Corner
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.
London has both. The central royal parks (Hyde Park, Regent's Park) and the Thames path are flat and rolling; Richmond Park, Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill offer real elevation and great views. Your guide picks the terrain to suit your level and your mood. Every listing shows distance and pace.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
Yes. London guides often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between meetings or before a day of sightseeing.
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.
