Run Strasbourg with a local

The must-run routes

• The Ill quays & Petite France — canals, covered bridges and half-timbered houses, the heart of Strasbourg at dawn.
• Parc de l’Orangerie — the city’s largest park near the European institutions, green loops and a lake.
• Jardin des Deux Rives — on both sides of the Rhine to Kehl, long flat lines between France and Germany.
• Parc de la Citadelle & the ramparts basin — Vauban remains and ponds to the south-east, a flat shaded route.
• Parc du Contades — a tree-lined park north of the centre, an easy accessible loop.

Run like a local

Your guide is a Strasbourgeois who loves to run and knows the Ill, the parks and both banks of the Rhine. Since the city is very flat, they play with distance and scenery — the quays, the Orangerie, the Deux Rives. Many of our guides here are running-club members and University of Strasbourg students who know every loop.

Self-guided routes

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.
