What is a running tour?

A running tour is just what it sounds like - a guided sightseeing tour that takes place on the run.

Where does the tour go?

Unless specified, our ‘default’ route is our City Centre run. See our Tours page for more details.

Am I fit enough to run?

As a rough guide, if you can run a 5k in 35 mins, you’re fit enough for our typical 8k tour. The tours are not a race! These are fun, casual runs, meant to include all running abilities.

What pace do you run?

Pace depends on the participants in each tour - as above, it’s a casual run, not a race. Typically, the pace is between 10 - 11 minutes miles, with multiple stops for photo opportunities and learning about the surroundings.

Is there somewhere to leave my bag or luggage?

There are luggage storage areas which charge a fee nearby - see https://bagbnb.com/luggage-storage/glasgow.

Are there toilets?

There are no scheduled toilet stops.

What if I’m running late and can’t make the tour?

Please plan on arriving 5 minutes prior to the tour start time, so we can depart on time. If you are running late, just text or call me. I will try to wait for you whenever possible within reason.

What if it's raining?

It’s usually raining in Glasgow so come prepared! We run our tours rain, shine, sleet and snow so unless there is extreme weather that makes the tour dangerous, we will run.

Will there be water?

Water won’t be supplied. Consider bringing some if you usually run with it, especially on a (rare!) hot day.

Can I bring a dog?

Absolutely! Dogs are welcome - just let us know in advance, and keep them on a lead during the run.
