What you'll do
We can start from where you want. I can design a route according to where you are based. Don't hesitate to suggest the best starting hour for you before the final booking.
At same time, I love to prepare a route customized to your interests. There are people that wants to discover the main places to know in Barcelona. There are others that are more interested in gastronomy, others in culture and history or just enjoying running in a new place. If it's possible, after your booking, I'll ask which are your preferences to prepare the experience according to that.
As an idea, we could start from Barcelona city center, where I live, and we'll run among the streets discovering my favourite corners of the town.
We can visit the Gothic quarter, we can run close to Gaudí buildings like Sagrada Familia, la Pedrera or Casa Batlló, later we can go down to the beach and we can finish close to the Cathedral, where I live.
I expect a route of around 10km, and we'll spend around 2 hours. I would recommend to start early at the morning because of the temperature or at the afternoon.
In each place of my favourite corners of Barcelona that we'll visit I have explanations and some games and surprises to discover.
And we, usually, finish at home drinking a fresh beverage at the roof of the house enjoying a good view of the city and listening to cathedral

I'm journalist. I love running without checking my time, just discovering the people and the places where am I.
My usual rhythm use to be among 5.30-6km/hour.
My 3 sons and my wife, sometimes, run with me.
I love to be a guide of my city, specially when I can show places out of the touristic routes. I've lived all my life in Barcelona.
On summer and on Christmas time, we use to spend some weeks abroad exchanging our house with other families. And when the agreement it's not possible, we use Airbnb as the first option.

Where you'll be
We'll run crossing Gothic quarter, the best beaches of BCN, and the most famous Gaudí buildings. At same time, I'll show you some of my favourite secret corners of BCN. During the route I have prepared some games and surprises to discover.

The running tour with Oriol was absolutely great and he created a super nice atmosphere so you have the feeling you’re running with a good friend. He shared a lot of information, gave great tips, could answer a lot of questions, took pictures and even prepared some little games.
I can highly recommend this tour!:))

I have done many running tours but this one with Oriol was excellent. He has a great knowledge of Barcelona and the price of the tour is a bargain. You will get a feel for Barcelona, see must see sights, learn about history and culture, get tips on places to eat and drink and feel personally valued. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona.

Running through the city with Oriol was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. We saw so much and it was away from the crowds since we started early. We ran past both famous spots and lesser known areas and I learned so much about the culture and history of Barcelona and Catalunya. Oriol is extremely knowledgeable and engaging, a true expert. I would recommend this to first time visitors on your first morning since Oriol provides great recommendations for food and sights. This would also be great for frequent visitors since you see the city differently with an expert and while running.
Además, Oriol acordó hablar en castellano y catalán conmigo ya que estoy aprendiendo castellano. Fue divertido participar en una gira multilingüe. Gracias por todos!

Oriol was an enthusiastic and accommodating running guide. I did the run with my two adult children. We all had a great time! Oriol shared special stories, provided amazing photo opportunities, and made the run fun through interactive activities. He was engaging and ran at the perfect pace. We covered a tremendous area of the city. After the tour, Oriol provides us morning beverages on his rooftop porch with a special view of Barcelona. At the end, he escorted us back to our residence. This was our best experience in Barcelona!
