Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Sydney isn't only meant to be seen from a ferry with a camera in hand — it's meant to be run. At first light, when the Bondi cliff path is still shaded by the sandstone headlands and the Pacific throws back the first glow, the city reveals a different side of itself. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the famous clifftop track between Bondi and Coogee, the paths of the Royal Botanic Garden hugging Farm Cove opposite the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, the flat, rolling Bay Run loop around Iron Cove, or the fig-lined avenues of Centennial Park. 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 turns, the quiet hour and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Sydney, 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 Sydneysider who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level, pick the route to suit the moment — the Bondi-to-Coogee coast for the cliffs and the ocean, the Bay Run or Centennial Park to cruise on the flat, the Botanic Garden for the quiet postcard — and share the Sydney you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our guides here are running-club members and sports students who know their training loops by heart. You leave with a real memory — and often a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in Sydney? 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 Sydney 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.

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.
Only if you want to. Plenty of runs stay flat — the Bay Run, the Botanic Garden or Centennial Park are open to everyone. The coastal track adds a few steps and rollers: each listing shows the profile, distance and pace, and your guide adapts to your level.
