Tour My Run

Run Rouen with a local

Rouen is a city you run between the Seine, church spires and wooded hillsides. The riverbanks, revamped on the left bank, unroll flat, rolling kilometres; the Côte Sainte-Catherine climbs to the finest panorama over the city of a hundred spires; and the Roumare and Verte forests ring Rouen with trails. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Seine quays at dawn, the Sainte-Catherine climb, the Île Lacroix loop, the Roumare singletrack. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Rouennais who knows the good paths — flat or climbing — and the right tempo.

Run like a local

Your guide is a Rouennais who loves to run and knows the Seine, the hillsides and the city’s forests. They pick the banks to cruise on the flat or the Côte Sainte-Catherine and Roumare for elevation and views, depending on your level. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Rouen students who know every loop.

FAQ — Running in Rouen

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.

Do I have to tackle the Côte Sainte-Catherine climb?

Only if you want to. The Seine banks and Île Lacroix stay flat; the Côte Sainte-Catherine and the forests (Roumare, Verte) add elevation and trails. Each listing shows the profile, distance and pace, and your guide adapts.

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 Rouen often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day.

I run in Rouen — 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.
