Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Marseille is a city you run with the Mediterranean in front and limestone at your fingertips. The Corniche Kennedy unrolls its seafront at the edge of the waves, Parc Borély and the Prado beaches offer green and sand, and the Calanques raise their white trails above the water. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Corniche at sunrise, the Borély-Prado loop, the Old Port quays and Vallon des Auffes, the Callelongue trails. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Marseillais who knows the right spot for the mistral, the right elevation for your level and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Marseille, 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 is a Marseillais who loves to run and knows the Corniche and the Calanques alike. They pick the seafront to cruise on the flat or the limestone trails for elevation and views, depending on your level, the wind and the heat. Many of our guides here are running-club members, trail runners and Aix-Marseille University students who live the coast every day.
Looking for someone to run with in Marseille? 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 Marseille 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.

What you'll see
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 seafront (Corniche, Prado, Borély) stays flat; the Calanques are genuine trail terrain, technical and climbing, to avoid in strong mistral or heatwaves (access is sometimes restricted in summer). Each listing shows the profile, elevation gain and pace, and your guide adapts.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
