John was able to accommodate in a very short notice. I did a morning run with him at 32 degrees and got to see most of downtown in 5 miles. He has a lot of knowledge on the history as well as the day to day economic issues of the city. If you are a runner, this is the best... More

First time I've tried this and I loved it. John was informative and willing to run at my pace. I did the 8km circuit taking in many of the sights I'd read about. It was great to do this first up in the morning as later in the day when back in downtown I was able to show my daughter... More

There isn't a better way to see Memphis. You can't beat an early morning run while truly seeing all Memphis has to offer. Run was informative, a good workout and totally fun. John was able to accommodate a run request on VERY short lead time. Do the 6 miler, you won't regret it! More

I ran with John (I was the only one signed up) on a Saturday morning for the 6-mile running tour. I learned so much about downtown in a relatively short amount of time -- where to eat, what to return to for further exploring, civil rights and Civil War history, Elvis landmarks, how to get to Beale Street, how to...

My wife and I both enjoy exploring new places and in our experience the best way to see a new place is to get out and hit the streets. Following the great reviews on our pre trip research for our stay in Memphis we booked a tour with Rockin' Running Tours and were not disappointed. The 6 mile run took... More

This was the first running tour we have ever done. We had a great time and were taken to great places to visit. The tour guide was very informative. When visiting Memphis this is one thing you need to do Paul and Tammy Marvin More

I found out about this tour on Tripadvisor and it was WELL worth it. What a crazy and fun way to see memphis, plus you really get good conversations when you run with people...not sure if its the "runners kinship" or what, but it happens. We had originally planned for my husband and 2 kids (12 & 17) to do... More

This tour was by far the most " out-of-the-box" thing I've experienced since I've lived in Memphis, which is my whole life. My boyfriend and I enjoyed this tour as part of our STAYCATION and we absolutely enjoyed it. We're considering doing another tour in a different part of the city. Great way to see the city for it's true... More
