Running Tourism



The concept of running tours through major cities is becoming increasingly popular.  Instead of taking a tour bus, grab your Sauconys and take to the streets.  Global Running Tours provides a list of running tours of cities such as London, Paris, Brussels, and Toronto.


Running tours are as close as Minneapolis.  The Twin Cities Jogging Tours offer 6 different tours:

  • Mill Ruins 5K
  • Gopher to Falls
  • Downtown
  • Urban Adventure Run
  • St Paul
  • Haunted Tour
The Haunted Tour explores St Paul.  The tour begins at Mears Park at dusk and is lit by moon and headlamps.


Another Twin Cities running tour option is City Running Tours.  Carrie Tollefson reviewed the City Running Tour on her video blog, CTolleRun.  
 Popular guided runs include:
  • Minneapolis 5K Beer Run
  • 5K Cherry & Spoon Run
  • 10K Skyscrapers & Stadiums Run
  • St Paul 5K Run
  • 10K Capitol City Run
  • 5K Uptown & Lakes Run
  • 5K Uptown Beer Run
