Running with John was a fantastic experience. Great way to see the streets of San Francisco and enjoy his inside knowledge of the city while we ran. The pace was reasonable and made for a thoroughly enjoyable 10km tour! I totally recommend this tour if you like running and want to see something you wouldn't otherwise experience. More

I have to admit, my runners often stay in my suitcase when I'm away and on a busy family holiday, it can be difficult to fit in a run or find a good, safe route. Booking this tour is a good way of getting around this: it's a great concept. You can pick your interests and John will work out... More

I ran the Golden Gate Bridge Run with John. I think a running tour is an excellent idea for anyone that wants to have an active vacation. John's tour was filled with a wealth of information. It was like running with a good friend. I didn't bring a camera for the run. John did & took some much appreciated photos... More

John and Trish led us on a great tour! They were extremely knowledgeable and couldn't have been any nicer. They went at a comfortable pace and gave us a lot of great information. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we signed up to do another one while we're here! I highly recommend this tour More

I was in San Francisco for business. The highlight of my trip was getting up early to meet John for a 5k run along the Embarcadero. John ran at my pace and pointed out many interesting San Francisco landmarks along the way. We even made a short detour to say "good morning" to the sea lions. This was during one... More

What a fun time I had on this time with John. He showed me all the key attractions in San Francisco and it was nice to get some exercise while doing this as well. Also, John was a wealth of knowledge about the area. Our conversation flowed easily throughout the run. Normally I like to explore cities on my own,... More

John was a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide for my friend and I, who were first-timers to San Francisco. We ran the 10k Embarcadero Run on a Saturday morning, and it was about 5 miles, completely flat, and at our own pace (10 minute miles with breaks for pictures and chatting). We were able to see lots of things... More

This was a no pressure "all about me" tour. This is a must do for ANY runner. I did my runner tour at the beginning of my stay and laid my future plans based on what I saw and learned. I did my (slow) pace, learned about San Francisco from a local, saw the sites, did not have to run... More

We wanted to get in a 5k run while in San Fran. Three of us did the city running tour with John. We ran along the Embarcadaro (nice and flat!) 1.5 miles out and back. John was a great guide; friendly, informative, and ran at our pace (but i am quite sure he could run much faster). We started at... More
