Tour My Run

Run Rennes with a local

Rennes is a city you run along water and parks, between the canal and the Vilaine. The Ille-et-Rance canal runs flat to the north, Parc du Thabor unfolds one of the most beautiful gardens in France in the heart of town, and the Prairies Saint-Martin offer a patch of nature a step from the centre. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the canal towpath, the Thabor loop, the Prairies Saint-Martin, the Gayeulles ponds. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Rennais who knows the good, flat, rolling paths and the right tempo.

Run like a local

Your guide is a Rennais who loves to run and knows the canal, the Vilaine and the city’s parks. Since Rennes is fairly flat, they play with distance and scenery — the canal, the Thabor, the Gayeulles — depending on your level. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Rennes students who know every training loop.

FAQ — Running in Rennes

Do I have to pay?

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.

Is it flat?

Yes, most of it is flat: the Ille-et-Rance canal, Parc du Thabor, the Prairies Saint-Martin, the Vilaine banks. Each listing shows distance and pace, and your guide adapts to your level.

How long is a run?

Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.

Can I run early or on weekdays?

Yes. Guides in Rennes often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day.

I run in Rennes — can I become a guide?

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.
