Tour My Run

Run Metz with a local

Metz is a city you run along the Moselle and the Seille, beneath golden Jaumont stone. The lake and Saulcy island offer a flat loop in the heart of town, the arms of the Moselle multiply shaded banks, and Parc de la Seille greens the south near the Centre Pompidou. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the lake loop, the Moselle banks, Parc de la Seille, Lac Symphonie at the Technopôle. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Messin who knows the good, flat, rolling paths and the right tempo.

Come, I'll take you running

To get taken running in Metz, 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.

Run like a local

Your guide is a Messin who loves to run and knows the Moselle, the Seille and the city’s parks. Since Metz is very flat, they play with distance and scenery — the lake, the banks, Parc de la Seille. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Lorraine students who know every loop.

Who to run with in Metz?

Looking for someone to run with in Metz? 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.

Discover Metz on an easy-paced run

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 Metz on the move with a local, at a pace that lets you take everything in.

Can you run in a group in Metz?

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.
