Corri a Nice con un local

The must-run routes

• The Promenade des Anglais — the iconic seafront facing the Baie des Anges, flat and fast at sunrise.
• Castle Hill — a climb to the park and the waterfall, a panorama over the whole bay and the Old Town.
• The Coulée verte (Paillon) — a ribbon of gardens in the heart of the city, an easy shaded loop.
• Mont Boron — forest and balcony trails above the sea, elevation and viewpoints.
• The coastal path (Cap de Nice) — a shoreline path towards Villefranche, coves and the Mediterranean at every stride.

Run like a local

Your guide is a Niçois who loves to run and knows the Promenade and the hills alike. They pick the seafront to cruise on the flat or the Castle and Mont Boron for elevation and views, depending on your level and the heat. Many of our guides here are running-club members and Côte d’Azur University students who live the coast every day.

Con chi correre a Nice?

Cerchi qualcuno che ti accompagni in un run a Nice? Un local ti aspetta. Invece di correre da solo in una città che non conosci, ti unisci a un abitante che corre già su questo terreno: ti apre il suo percorso, adatta il ritmo al tuo e ti fa scoprire la città in movimento.

Scoprire Nice correndo, a ritmo tranquillo

Non sei qui per la prestazione? Molte guide propongono un run di scoperta a ritmo lento — una corsa leggera, quasi al passo, per vedere la città senza attraversarla a cronometro. Ci si ferma ai punti panoramici e ci si prende il tempo di guardare: è un modo di scoprire Nice muovendoti con un local, a un ritmo che ti lascia osservare tutto.

Si può correre in gruppo a Nice?

Sì. Su TourMyRun un run è guidato da un local che accoglie un piccolo gruppo di runner: ti unisci ad altri, di passaggio o del posto, per un run collettivo, senza dover correre da solo. È il gruppo di un run TourMyRun — guidato da un abitante — non un club né un crew esterno.

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.
