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.

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.
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. What you pay covers the organisation and a contribution to your guide's time and expenses — not a commercial service. 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, choose your slots and receive a contribution for your time.
