Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Toronto is a city you run along the water and through its ravines. Along Lake Ontario, the Martin Goodman Trail unrolls dozens of flat, sunlit kilometres, from the eastern Beaches all the way to Humber Bay in the west, with the skyline and the CN Tower as a backdrop. Higher up, the city carves itself into green ravines — the Don Valley, the Beltline on a former rail line — where the concrete quickly fades away. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the lakefront at daybreak, the wooded trails of High Park, the calm of the Kay Gardner Beltline, or the car-free ferry crossing to the Toronto Islands. 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 footbridges and the right tempo.

Get the free guideYour guide isn't a service provider — they're a Torontonian 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 flat lakefront to cruise, the Don ravines for greenery, High Park for a little elevation — and share the Toronto 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.
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.
The western section of the Martin Goodman Trail, flat and car-free, out to the Humber Bay arch footbridge. The reference route for Toronto runners, stunning at sunrise.
Start : HTO Park / Harbourfront (downtown lakefront)
A man-made spit reclaimed by nature, open to the public on weekends: a flat trail out to the lighthouse, birdlife and a sweeping skyline view. A wild escape in the middle of the city.
Start : Leslie Street gate (south of Lake Shore Blvd E)
A former rail line turned flat, shaded, traffic-free path through Forest Hill and Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Ideal for recovery or a quiet outing.
Start : Allen Road / Eglinton Ave W (western end)
A ravine-floor path along the Don River, softer ground, linking the lakefront in the south to the northern neighbourhoods without touching the road.
Start : Corktown Common (near the Distillery District)
