About
Love to run? Visiting Edinburgh? We love running and we love Edinburgh. So let us share this love with you by taking you on a tour through or around or stunning city on foot, combining some site seeing with the enjoyment of running at a pace that you set. Whether it's your first time visiting or you are a regular visitor to Edinburgh, you'll find that a running tour can not only keep you active during your trip, but allow you to see things from a different perspective. We know, as a runner, that you always take your trainers with you to squeeze in a quickie when you can, but you're not always sure about the best route to see the most of a city, this is where we come in. Rain, hail or shine...we head out in all conditions so please come prepared. Our PERSONALISED RUNNING TOURS are completely customisable to the time of day, distance and sights you want to see, from 3 to 30 miles! Any level of runners welcome, you set the pace, and we take time along the way for some photos too.

We went for the Panoramic Tour with Catriona! Absolutely wonderful experience. Catriona was friendly, knowledgeable, and attuned to each of our running capacities. Our tour was highly personal - just the two of us and our guide. This was much nicer than some of the larger group tours we’ve taken. The climb up Arthur’s Seat was a nice challenge and the view was incredible. Our guide took some photos for us, showed us a variety of interesting places around the city, and told us a bit about life in Scotland as well. She answered all of our questions and even gave us some recommendations for other things to see in Edinburgh and other run tours in Scotland. She was also very knowledgeable about races in Europe. Taking the run tour was a great way to see a lot of the city in a short period of time. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who is a reasonably capable runner! Couldn’t be happier with our experience. (: Thanks Catriona!

Had my first run with Catriona and Pamela this morning around the Pentlands. I consider myself fairly local but it was great to see bits of this area that I had not seen before, and so close to Edinburgh! Was a fantastically social pace, challenging enough but didn't lose the ability to have a chat. Whether you're a local looking to discover more of the Pentlands or coming to Edinburgh to visit and want a quick hit of the outdoors, I cannot recommend these guys enough.

Looking forward to my next one!

I booked the Water of Leith and Village Life Tour and had the most wonderful experience running through beautiful parts of Edinburgh that I would not have found on my own. Catriona is such a friendly and knowledgeable guide! Runs are personalised (pace, time, distance, etc.), which is great.

A friend and I booked a run but weren't quite sure what we would be up for given jet lag and coming off an injury. Catriona was perfect- she was flexible and built a run around our abilities. It was a great way to start the trip- we got a perfect overview of history and the city layout, plus fun recommendations for places to dine and visit during the reminder of our stay. It was also fun to have someone to tell us about the local running scene. We have some races on our bucket list for next time. Thanks, Cat!

We loved our tour of the Water of Leith and Calton Hill. Pamela was absolutely brilliant- accommodating of different running levels, chatted about the sights we passed and gave us plenty options to make the best of our time. An absolutely brilliant run through Edinburgh!

Me and my wife had a lovely Friday morning out running through Edinburgh with Catriona. She tailored a wonderful route (fusion of Edinburgh City Highlights & Water of Leith & Village life) through the city. Catriona was great and we learned alot about the city. She also gave us great tips on resturants etc. and sent us a message after the run with the names of the places we spoke about on the tour. Highly recommend and will definitely book again next time we will be in Edinburgh. Thanks Catriona!

It was such fun to show you both around Edinburgh on Friday morning Erling! Very different from your Icelandic scenery I am sure! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip and look forward to showing you more paths and sights next time you are over here. Catriona

The running tour along the river of Leith was super nice. The area is magical, and the tour guide was super nice, likable, friendly and in good shape, so you better be fit. ;-) My first guided running tour, and for sure not my last. Catriona is a very likeable guide.

I can’t recommend Edinburgh tours enough. It was an amazing way to mix sight seeing and exercise with a wonderful running partner. Catriona was friendly, knowledgable and ran at my pace. Give it a go!!!

I had the best run with Catriona! She met me at my hotel and we spent the following two hours talking and running through different areas of Edinburgh!

Just days before my visit to Edinburgh I stumbled upon the website of Edinburgh Run Tours. Got a very quick reply and suggestions for a run.
Catriona was my run buddy. It was ridiculously windy at the time of our run!! 🙈 Instead of her planned trail to Arthur's Seat, Catriona came up with a wonderful 6k run run along Edinburgh's major highlights. Historical and architectural, nature and wonderful views. Loved that she made it MY run. Absolutely adjusted to my pace and interests. Fun facts all the way 😉 I could've never come up with this route myself.
Best money spent this holiday! Thanks for a lovely memory Catriona, and the running buff... I'll wear it with a grateful smile X
