Montpellier is a city you run with the sun high and the sea at the end of the path. The Lez banks unroll a green corridor from the city to the Mediterranean, the Promenade du Peyrou and its aqueduct recall the grand century, and Lunaret park offers its shaded woods to the north. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Lez towards Palavas, the Peyrou esplanade, the Montmaur trails, the Domaine de Grammont avenues. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Montpelliérain who knows the good paths, the shade and the right tempo under the southern sun.

Get the free guideYour guide is a Montpelliérain who loves to run and knows the Lez, the parks and the way to the sea. They pick a flat, shaded route to match your level and the heat, and show you the city all the way to the beaches. Many of our guides here are running-club members and sports students who know every loop.
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.
Most of it is flat: the Lez banks, the Peyrou, the path to Palavas. Lunaret and Montmaur add a little elevation and shade. In hot weather we start at dawn. Each listing shows the profile and pace, and your guide adapts.
