It’s 8 a.m. Your alarm goes off and the pavement is beckoning. The city patiently awaits your exploration as you lace up your shoes. As you walk outside your hotel, a smiling face, an experienced guide that is going to lead you through the undiscovered, greets you. Once your feet hit the pavement you begin to experience all the sites and smells that your destination has to offer…that’s City Running Tours.

The only company to offer guided running tours of the country's top tourist destinations – New York City, Chicago, San Diego, Washington, DC, Charleston and Austin – City Running tours allows runners to explore hidden parts of cities on foot with a trained guide and runner.

Ideal for the business traveler who is tired of on the hotel treadmill, the marathon runner who is training for a race and is looking to continue or spice up their regular routine, or the recreational runner who wants to explore new and interesting routes, City Runners Tours offers both set tours as well as customized runs to accommodate any athletic ability, style, training regimen or specific landmarks.

City Running Tours was founded by Michael Gazaleh, DC, when he recognized an opportunity to combine the health benefits of running with site-seeing in one of the nation's top tourist destinations and number one running city, New York City. A health, sports and exercise enthusiast his entire life and an avid runner for over 10 years, he wanted to bring his love of running and his passion for his native home to visitors. Since then, City Running Tours – NYC has expanded into City Running Tours, and now offers runs in Chicago, San Diego, Washington, DC, Charleston and Austin with other cities coming soon.
