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.

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.
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. 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.
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, choose your slots and receive a contribution for your time.
