Top Melbourne Running Tours

Tony was a great tour guide. Running through the city while explaining the history and answering all of my questions. I highly recommend this tour. A great way to see the beautiful city.

Thanks. I went with my non-running teen daughter and it was one of her highlights of the trip; chillly, architecture, history, culture and stories of Melbourne. Hits the highlights and got in some exercise.. who knows she may become a runner after all. Appreciate the memorable morning.

Loved this sunrise tour of Melbourne and the Yarra river. Tim was a gracious and knowledgeable tour guide, who accommodated my running pace and requests (I was lucky to be the only one on this tour). It was a glorious day out there with brilliant sunlight and a slight breeze. Got to see the "G" and the "Tan," the Australian Open venue and the river, some of the street art works and we finished at a brilliant coffee place. You don't have to be a runner to do this tour, but it'll be just the right thing for runners or anybody enjoying the outdoors and being on the move to see things. Thank you, Tim and Matt - can highly recommend!

I was the only one in the tour, it was very informative and the guide was very good at matching my pace. I had a great time!

Such a fun time running with Matt and knowing about major landmarks and the history of Melbourne. Learnt a lot about the heritage bhuildings. Matt maintained a running pace that suited us and kept up the information with his lovely sense of humour. A great way to know the city!

What a great way to see the hidden treasures of downtown Melbourne and get a 'running commentary' 😁. My guide Matt was a font of knowledge and a great running partner. I thoroughly recommend Running Tours as a fantastic way to experience Melbourne. And then there was the Donuts and Coffee....amazing.

If you're a keen runner and you want to see Melbourne by foot especially in the morning, this is the go to group to show you around the city with a passion for running and extensive knowledge around the City Of Melbourne!!! Thank you so much Matty for the solo tour on Aussie Day, I've got a bit more knowledge about the city itself but especially made another like minded runner/friend/contact for good 💜. You'll get bang for your buck I can guarantee you!!!

I had a great running tour with Tim, he was knowledgable and happy to run at my pace whilst taking great pictures. The tour was perfect for a quick trip to Melbourne as we saw all the sights and finished with a lovely coffee. Definitely recommend if you like running

Solo traveler from the US. I happened to be the only runner for the tour of the day so Tony my tour guide catered the day's run to my needs and wants. We stopped and took pictures quite often, then ran in between places. The pace was very doable, but Tony beat me in the game of endurance (not quite in cardio shape as him, but he let me walk quite often too). Would definitely do it with a friend if I come back! Tony showed me the best parts of the city and introduced me to some great places to explore further on my own. He also took a detour from the original path for me since I wanted to see the Queen Victoria market, then led me back on the tour. Very personable, the running tour made my day a great one! Thank you Tony!

Wow!!! What a great way to see Melbourne. I learnt a lot and saw things I never knew existed. Matty was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was such an enjoyable morning and I highly recommend this running tour to everyone.

Really fun morning exploring Melbourne with Matty as our tour guide. He had great knowledge of the history of Melbourne and the laneways artists. Highly recommend if you are a resident of Melbourne or visiting this beautiful city.

This was a fun experience. Matty was very considerate and looked after our group. We learned many interesting historical facts about the city on the run. A nice surprise was that we stopped for donuts halfway through at an amazing place called “Short Stop”. We saw many different laneways which i have not seen before and even saw the inside of the Manchester Unity building - an interesting site that I have seen many times but never bothered to go in to. I can recommend this tour wholeheartedly to anyone who is a local or a tourist. The tour concludes nicely with a coffee in Degraves street. Total tour time is around 2 hours. Pace is based on your ability so don’t be put off by this being a “run”.

After a week of business travel I had some extra time and booked the Laneway Discovery Running Tour. Highly recommend! My guide was friendly and informative and I got to see parts of Melbourne I would've otherwise walked right by.

Great tour with Tim, fantastic way to get to know the city. Good mix between running and time to learn more about the buildings and take photos.

Such a great day! I can’t believe I have lived in Melbourne and still never seen the laneways. Matt was a great guide, fun, down to earth and dealt with my mediocre running skills. Thanks for a great day!! Would recommend

I was only in Melbourne for a couple of days and it had been many years since my last visit. The laneways tour was a great way to quickly get acquainted with the city, while exercising at the same time. Tim was an excellent guide-knowledgeable and friendly. I got an overview of all the main Melbourne attractions and was able to take my family back to the things I wanted to see in more detail. I loved the fact that I only booked the tour the day before and was still accommodated. The pace was great for running and chatting and the photos were a great momento of the tour. I have already recommended this tour to my running friends.
