Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Mexico City isn't only meant to be admired with its murals and the volcanoes on the skyline — it's meant to be run. Early in the morning, when the light grazes the Bosque de Chapultepec and North America's highest capital hasn't warmed up yet, the city reveals a different side of itself. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the dirt circuits of El Sope in Chapultepec, the shaded loop of Parque México in the heart of Art Deco Condesa, the flat sandy alley of the Viveros de Coyoacán, the forest trails of Bosque de Tlalpan, or Paseo de la Reforma closed to cars on Sundays with the Ángel de la Independencia straight ahead. Not a sightseeing coach, not a random jog around your hotel: one hour of running with someone who lives here, at your pace — and at your altitude — who knows the right hours, the freshest air and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Mexico City, 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 chilango who loves to run and wants to show you their city. At 2,240 m of altitude, the pace isn't the one you're used to — and that's exactly where a local changes everything: they set the pace and distance to your acclimatisation, pick the route to suit the moment and the day's air (Chapultepec or the Viveros in the cool of the morning, Condesa for an easy jog, Tlalpan for trail), and share the Mexico City you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our guides here are running-club members and sports students used to the altitude, 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 Mexico City? 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 Mexico City 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 city's reference training track: two dirt loops (1,200 m and 850 m) plus a 100 m straight, under the trees. Stack laps for endurance or intervals, early in the morning for the fresh air.

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.
Mexico City sits at about 2,240 m: the air is thinner and you'll get out of breath sooner, especially in the first days. The good news is that a local guide knows how to dose it — easy pace, flat routes like the Viveros or Parque México, early in the morning. Each listing shows distance, duration and pace, and your guide adapts to your acclimatisation.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
Yes. Mexico City guides often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal for the freshest air, before the heat and the traffic.
