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 complete a 5k run, you’re fit enough for our typical 8k tour, which includes several stops. 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 9 - 11 minutes miles, with multiple stops for photo opportunities and learning about the surroundings.

How many people are on each tour?

We keep our normal tours small and personal, with a maximum of 5 runners per group. If you’re interested in a private or larger group tour, get in touch and we’ll see what we can arrange!

Can I change before the run?

Please arrive ready to run, as we don’t have anywhere to change. If you need to, some gyms in Glasgow offer day passes where you can access the changing rooms and showers. Try PureGym or The Gym Group - check their websites for current locations and prices.

Can I leave my bag or luggage somewhere?

We don’t have dedicated storage available, so please arrive ready to run. However, there are some storage services nearby that charge a fee. You can find options at 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.

Gift Cards

When does a gift card expire?

Never - there is no expiry date.

Are the gift cards physical or digital?

They’re digital only - the voucher is sent immediately by email.
