Top Edinburgh Running Tours

Wonderful tour - if you like running, you cannot possibly have a better introduction to Edinburgh than this. Great view, interesting diverse route and - most importantly a great knowledgeable and enthusiastic running guide.

My family of four loved our running tour with Stewart this morning! It was so easy to schedule, and he was very flexible with location, pace, timing, weather, etc. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and interested in his clients. We would highly recommend this company to explore Edinburgh at your pace.

Had an amazing run with Stewart! Got to see tons of amazing sites of Edinburgh with out all of the crowds. Stewart showed us great view points of the city and even took us all the way up to the top of Arthur’s Seat. Also gave great recommendation on a great running spot for the rest of our trip. 10/10 highly recommend!

Wonderful time, would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the city and get in a bit of a run too!

I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing hike we enjoyed. Rishi is funny, patient, generous (he brought extra water and snacks). This gentleman is extremely knowledgeable about Scotland, the history, agriculture, animals, etc., he was a wonderful addition to our adventure. I recommend Rishi as your tour guide, above all others. Jeanne Flanagan

Rishi was a wonderful naturalist and guide on our hike in the Pentlands Highly recommend this unique experience of Edinburgh!

I had an amazing morning run with Kai. He showed me parts of the city I would never had seen. He shared history, architecture, and local perspective.

Best way to see the city! Barely any people at the sites, get stories and even better guides! Zoe was amazing and felt like a longtime friend by the end of the run!

Wonderful views and exactly as it is described in the description. We had the most beautiful weather possible for Oct in Scotland . Very knowledgeable guide with lots of interesting facts. Great snacks.

Rishi is a wonderful guide with deep knowledge of Scotland, the countryside and all it has to offer. His passion for nature and all things natural contributed to very pleasant and memorable day's outing. Rishi is very generous and literally spoiled us on the hike with bottled water, savoury snacks and sweet treats. He even paid for our bus tickets from the meeting point and the return journey. The ticket was free to use for the entire day - even after the hike. Rishi was extremely patient and did not rush the hike. He took care of each guest and made plenty stops for us to "catch our breath". The route he took us on offered breathtaking views of Edinburgh and beyond. I will definitely recommend taking a nature hike with Rishi. Thank you for a magical day in nature, Rishi!

Alison was the best running tour guide. She knows Edinburgh history and helped us to see its beauty and complexity. She connected the places we saw with memorable stories that will remain with us for a long time. We had an incredible running morning.

My experience was phenomenal, I wanted to run while on vacation with my family (none of whom would enjoy running 6km) but was leery to run in an unfamiliar city. Alison was the perfect running companion. The pace was right what I need while going up/down the Edinburgh hills and I got a lovely background on this historic city. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to run while visiting Edinburgh. My run was scheduled for the early morning, so I was able to get my bearings before the streets filled.

Fabulous day with Rishi. My wife and I are in our 60s and I have a bad knee. Hike is long with an elevation gain that made it a challenge for us. Rishi moved at our pace and provided lots of interesting information. Highly recommend if you want to see more of Scotland than tourist shops.

Rishi immediately makes you feel comfortable. He is very knowledgeable about the area and history of Scotland. It was a joy to learn as we hiked and the view was wonderful. Overall, this is a fantastic experience!

very nice walk through a highland area near Edinburgh with an informative guide named Rishi. He was knowleable of the area and very accomodating even with snacks for my gluten free diet. if you like hiking and nice views and senery i would recomend highly.

Our hike with Rishi the highlight of our time in Edinburgh. It started with a short bus ride to the outskirts of Edinburgh. After leaving the bus, we had a short walk to the start of our hike (with a pit stop at a bathroom). Almost immediately we got a close up photo op with hairy coos/highland cows. We began our hike from there and the first hour was decently challenging. My husband and I (both 36 and in decent shape, but from relatively flat Texas) were both breathing pretty heavily, but Rishi was patient and always happy to make small stops to discuss the local geography/history/ecology of the area. Our hike was taking us to Allermuir Peak and while it was definitely a workout, the views from the top where well worth the journey! We made small descent and took a well earned rest while Rishi continued to be an excellent guide and discussed the area. He also provided water, granola/energy bars and crisps/chips. We then continued our descent passing through different terrain. On our journey we saw more hairy coos, sheep, deer and a variety of birds. Our hike took about 3.5 hours, but total time out of Edinburgh city was about 4.5 (bus ride to and from accounts for the hour). Rishi also included the bus fare from start to finish and it was a full day pass so we utilized it for the rest of the day. This was truly a wonderful hike, though it was definitely not an easy hike. If you are looking for an activity to give you a break from the city and take in the beautiful scenery of Scotland this is a great option.
