Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Stockholm is built on fourteen islands, and running is the way you truly grasp it: water everywhere, bridges, waterfronts and royal parks minutes from the centre. In the early morning, the light grazes the Riddarfjärden, the quays are empty and the archipelago begins where the street ends. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the grand loop of the Djurgården park-island, the waterside path that circles Kungsholmen, the Årstaviken loop past jetties and wooden cottages, the paths of Hagaparken along Brunnsviken lake, or the heights of Södermalm with the whole city at your feet. 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 bridges, the paths along the water and the right tempo.

To get taken running in Stockholm, 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 Stockholmer who loves to run and knows the city inside out. They adjust the pace and distance to your level and pick the route to suit the moment and the light — Djurgården for forest and archipelago, Kungsholmen for the waterline and the skyline, Södermalm for the heights and the panoramas. Many of our Stockholm guides are running-club members and sports students who know every training loop by heart. You discover the real Stockholm — the bridges and waterfronts you can't see from a bus — and often leave with a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in Stockholm? 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 Stockholm 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.

Start : Djurgården bridge (Djurgårdsbron), by the Nordiska museet
An almost continuous waterside path all around the island, past Rålambshovsparken, urban beaches and skyline views. Flat, rolling and easy to follow along the quays.
Start : Stadshuset (City Hall), water on your left
A loop of the Årstaviken bay along the south shore of Södermalm then Årsta, crossing the Skanstull and Liljeholmen bridges. A path maintained year-round, old boats, jetties and wooden cottages.
Start : Skanstull (Södermalm), by Skanstullsbron
A 5 km run on mixed tarmac and gravel paths in the royal Haga park, along Brunnsviken lake, every Saturday. Free and welcoming; bring your printed parkrun barcode (check the start time on the page).

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.

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