Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Milan has a reputation as a city that works — but at first light, it runs. Behind the fashion-and-finance façade, a flat, green city reveals itself: the paths of Parco Sempione at the foot of the Castello Sforzesco, the cobbled towpaths of the Navigli heading out to the countryside, the long Naviglio della Martesana greenway, and the little hill of Parco Monte Stella, the only real climb around. On TourMyRun, a Milanese runner takes you along their routes: a fast central loop before your meetings, a quiet ribbon of water along a canal, or the Idroscalo lake ring east of the city. Not a sightseeing coach, not a random jog around your hotel: one hour of running with someone who lives here, at your pace, who knows the right links, the park entrances and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Milan, 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 Milanese who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level and pick the route to suit the moment — Sempione for a fast central loop, the Navigli for the atmosphere, the Martesana to cruise in peace, the little hill for some elevation. Many of our Milan guides are running-club members and sports students who know their training loops by heart. You discover the real Milan — the one you can't see from a bus — and often leave with a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in Milan? 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 Milan 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.
A lit, flat loop at the foot of the castle, leafy paths and a water fountain; the easy run when you're staying downtown. Extend towards the Arco della Pace.
Start : Castello Sforzesco / Piazza Castello
A cobbled towpath along the canal from the Darsena heading south-west, cafés and workshops; the liveliest Milan, best run early before the crowds.
Start : Darsena / Porta Ticinese
A long car-free pedestrian ribbon along the canal, past old villas and greenery out to the countryside. Perfect for a quiet endurance run.
Start : Cassina de' Pomm, Via Melchiorre Gioia
A rolling loop around the lake with ground markers every 200 m; open 7:30am–9pm. The runners' meeting point east of the city.
Start : Idroscalo, Tribune area (east Milan, near Linate)
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.
On the 'little hill' of Parco Monte Stella, the artificial hill in the San Siro area: trails, stairs and short climbs over about 2.5 km. Otherwise most runs stay flat (Sempione, Navigli, Martesana). Each listing shows the profile, and your guide adapts to your level.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
Yes. Milan guides often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between meetings or before a day of sightseeing, when Parco Sempione and the Navigli are still quiet.
Absolutely. If you know your routes by heart and enjoy running with others, you can offer your runs and choose your slots. It's voluntary: your costs are covered, never a wage.
Book a run on TourMyRun: a local runner takes you along their route and matches the pace to yours. You pick a slot, meet them at the meeting point, and run with company.
Yes — every TourMyRun run is led by a local who welcomes a small group. You join other runners for a shared run, and never run alone.
With a resident who knows the city. They open up their routes and their group: you discover Milan like a local, not like a tourist.
Yes. Some guides offer an easy-paced discovery run, almost at walking pace, with stops at the viewpoints — to see the city on the move, at your own pace.
