Why choose to Run The City?
A brilliant way to see York from a different perspective. The pace was relaxed and friendly, with plenty of stops and interesting stories along the way. I’m not a regular runner, but felt completely comfortable throughout. A fun, welcoming tour that I’d happily recommend.
Really fun, relaxed and well organised. I was a bit nervous about joining a running tour, but it was very accessible and the atmosphere was friendly from the start. The route showed off York beautifully, with just the right mix of jogging, sightseeing and local history.
Such an enjoyable experience and a lovely way to explore the city. The group had mixed fitness levels, but nobody felt left behind and the guide kept everything easy-going. We saw some great parts of York and learnt lots too. Perfect for visitors and locals alike.
Run The City is designed for everyday runners who want to explore more of York while discovering it’s history.
We run at a relaxed, conversational pace around 6:00-6:30 min/km (9.40 – 10.20 per mile). With regular stops around York, we run for no longer than 2KM (1.2 miles) at any point in the tour.
If you can run a 5KM within 40 minutes, you’ll fit right in.
