Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Lyon is a city you run between two rivers. The Rhône and the Saône trace kilometres of flat, sunlit banks; Croix-Rousse and Fourvière bring the climbs and the views; and the Presqu'île ties it all together bridge by bridge. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Rhône banks at daybreak, the climb up to the Fourvière basilica and its panorama, the traboules and slopes of Croix-Rousse, or the long loops of Parc de la Tête d'Or. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Lyonnais who knows the best links, the shortcuts and the right tempo.

Get the free guideYour guide is a Lyonnais who loves to run and knows the city inside out. They pick the route to match your level and the moment — flat banks to cruise, climbs for elevation, traboules for discovery. Many of our Lyon guides are running-club members and sports students who know every training loop. You discover the real Lyon — the one you can't see from a bus.
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.

What you'll see
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.
Only if you want to. Some runs stay flat along the rivers, others take on the hills — 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 (details in each listing).
