About this tour
A private 90-minute running tour through Madrid's city centre and Retiro Park, led by a local guide who tailors the route to your interests and fitness level. You'll cover roughly 5–12 km at a pace you set, with optional stops at landmarks for photos and historical context. Ideal for runners who want to explore the city on foot while getting insider tips on neighbourhoods, food, and things to do—without the fixed pace or group size of a standard group tour.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at an arranged starting point in Madrid's city centre. The guide will confirm your fitness level, interests and preferred distance, then set off on a running route through the city—either focusing on main attractions, quieter neighbourhoods, or a mix. You control the pace throughout; if you'd like to stop at landmarks, museums or parks, the guide will pause to share history and context while you catch your breath and photograph. You can ask questions about where to eat, drink, or spend your remaining time in Madrid. The tour wraps after 90 minutes, though you can adjust timing on the day based on how you're feeling.

Good to know
Best for runners with moderate or better fitness who want a personalised city orientation rather than a walking tour. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, cardiovascular issues, or are pregnant. Minimum age is 12 (children must be with an adult). You'll need at least moderate fitness; the guide will match your pace but you're running continuously (albeit with optional stops). Public drinking fountains cover hydration, so no extra cost. Wear proper running shoes and weather-appropriate kit. Peak tourist times in Madrid are spring and autumn; summer heat may make this more demanding. Distance is flexible, so discuss expectations with your guide beforehand if you're unsure.
