A 5k taster tour, themed around a specific topic. Our normal guided runs cover Glasgow’s broad history and heritage - these short themed tours go into more detail on a specific niche.
These tours are ideal if you haven’t done a running tour before and just want to see what it involves; if you’re nervous about the distance on a longer run; or even if you’ve enjoyed our normal tours and want to explore more of the hidden history in Glasgow!
This run starts at Kelvingrove Museum and has two route options - 5k and finish near Buchanan Street subway; or longer 8k route to return back to start. You can decide on the day which suits you best.

Arrive ready to run, but don’t worry about the pace or the distance. It isn’t a race! It’s a casual pace to suit the group, with plenty stops to chat about what we’re running past and for photos. If you can run 3k in one go, you’ll be able to handle the 5k tour.
