Prague isn't only meant to be seen from the crowded Charles Bridge — it's meant to be run. At first light, when the Vltava embankments are still empty and the sun slides across the hundred spires, the city reveals a different side of itself. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the flat Náplavka promenade along the river, the shaded avenues of Letná park with its sweeping view over the Old Town, the vast Stromovka park (the former royal hunting ground), the Vyšehrad fortress facing the Vltava, or the switchbacks of Petřín hill up to its tower. 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 best links, the quiet stretches and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Prague, 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 Praguer who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level, pick the route to suit the time of day — the flat Náplavka embankments to cruise, the Stromovka avenues for endurance, the Petřín switchbacks for elevation — and share the Prague you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our Prague guides are running-club members and sports students 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 Prague? 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 Prague 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 paved, flat promenade along the Vltava, heading south past the Dancing House up to the Vyšehrad fortress; return along the Smíchov bank if you like. The riverside classic, car-free.
Start : Náplavka, right-bank embankment south of the National Theatre
A flat loop on dirt and gravel paths through the former royal hunting ground, around the ornamental pond and beneath mature trees. The free parkrun is held here every Saturday at 9 am.
Start : Holešovice, near the Exhibition Grounds (Výstaviště)
A flat, paved path along the Vltava's east bank heading north, through quiet urban then wooded sections. The best route for distance at a calm pace.
Start : Letná park, near the Metronome
A climb on switchbacks and stone stairs up to the Petřín lookout tower, all of Prague at your feet. Short but steep — perfect for strength work.
Start : Újezd tram stop, Malá Strana
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.
Yes and no: the Vltava embankments (Náplavka), Stromovka and the path towards Troja are flat and rolling, ideal at any level; the hills of Letná, Petřín and Vyšehrad add elevation when you want it. Each listing shows the profile, distance and pace, and your guide adapts.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
Yes. Prague guides often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day, when the bridges and embankments are at their quietest.
