What to expect
You'll meet your guide at an agreed starting point — timing is flexible to suit you. The 10km run unfolds across two hours, mixing running intervals with stops at key landmarks: Sagrada Familia, Gaudí sites, Barcelona's main beaches, and streets in the Gothic quarter. At each stop, the guide shares local stories and cultural detail relevant to the area.
The pace is set for moderate runners; this isn't a race, but a steady exploration. You'll finish with water and light refreshments available. The entire route stays accessible to public transport, so you're not stranded if you need to bail early, though the guide is flexible about adjusting the route if you'd prefer different neighbourhoods or a shorter distance.

The tour runs in all weather, so bring appropriate gear (waterproof layers, hat, sun protection as needed).
