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.

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.
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 full loop of the royal park-island on gravel paths and waterside tracks, between museums, forest and archipelago views. Almost car-free; follow the island's edge and the circuit is obvious.
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).
Start : Hagaparken, near Haga Forum (Odenplan metro) — Saturday morning
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.
Yes — it's one of the city's great strengths: built on islands, with waterfronts, bridges and royal parks everywhere. Routes almost always hug the water, and most are flat and rolling. Every listing shows distance, duration and pace, and your guide adapts the rhythm to your level.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
Yes. Stockholm guides often offer sunrise and weekday slots — ideal between visits or before a busy day. In summer, the bright early mornings over the water are stunning.
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.
