Run Happy Tours

Sea to Sagrada 10km

This run kicks off with an energizing run down to the iconic W Hotel. We’ll then follow the Mediterranean coastline before weaving our way into the heart of Barcelona to take in the awe-inspiring La Sagrada Familia. It’s the perfect combo of seaside serenity and city magic. Along the way, I’ll point out my favorite spots and local gems.

Mad Dash City Center

We kick off at the Arc de Triomf and dash through El Born into the historic heart of Ciutat Vella. This loop takes you past 10 iconic sights—plus plenty of hidden gems along the way. We’ll wind through narrow alleys, pass legendary buildings and plazas, cruise up Passeig de Gràcia, and finish at the stunning La Sagrada Familia—all before the city fully wakes up.

Happiest Little Beach Run

Hey beach lover! Not up for a full 10K? This one's for you. We’ll jog down to the sea for a breezy run through Barceloneta, then loop back through the beautiful Parc de la Ciutadella. Expect plenty of morning sunshine, a few hidden spots, and I’ll also tell you about the best beach towns up the coast you can reach on the beach train!

Montjüic Ultra Run

Ready for a hill-climbing doozy? This 8K run around Montjuïc includes stairs, hills, and epic views. We’ll meet at Plaça d’Espanya and take on this scenic route with plenty of stops for gardens, lookout points, and a few photo (or breath!) breaks. It’s a bum-burner, but totally worth it.

Carrer de les Aigues

Want to escape the city and run along its stunning edge? This scenic, flat trail overlooks all of Barcelona from above—and it's worth every step. We’ll take a 20-minute train & a short funicular ride to the start, then cruise along the Collserola ridge. No trail shoes needed, and we can adjust the distance to match your time and energy. Plan for about 2.5 - 3 hours total, depending on the route.

El Poblenou Architecture + Street Art

This urban run dives into the creative heart of Poblenou—Barcelona’s hub for tech, design, and bold street art. We’ll explore a mix of cutting-edge architecture, colorful graffiti walls, iconic sculptures, and the newly revamped Glòries Urban Park. Expect unexpected gems, a splash of culture, and yes... a secret surprise along the way.

FAQs

Tours typically last around 2 hours, varying based on the tour type and the running ability of the group members. Occasionally, tours may extend slightly if we need to walk a bit or spend more time at specific stops for photos. Each tour concludes at a location where we will stretch, and you can enjoy a drink or snack. You're welcome to stay a while longer or head off and continue with your day whenever you're ready!
For the 6km/8km runs, they are tailored for beginner/recreational runners, as we will maintain a relaxed pace. If you are athletic, play sports, or exercise regularly and can comfortably run 3km, you should be able to join the 6km/8km tours.
For the 10km runs, you should be an experienced runner or a recreational runner in excellent physical condition. If you have taken part in 10km runs or half marathons, these tours should be manageable for you.
I am happy to lead a running tour with one to six participants. For larger groups, please get in touch, and we can arrange separate groups based on skill levels. We can also provide an additional running guide and customize the day and time to suit your needs.
Running tours are $30 per person. I will also send you a link to the Run Happy City Guide after the tour, with my top recommendations and favorite places in Barcelona.
My tours usually begin at 8:30 am in the morning, but I am flexible with the start time. Morning runs are preferred due to less traffic, fewer people, and better lighting for photos. Additionally, starting your day with a run is an excellent way to kick off your day!
I am not a certified personal trainer or medical professional. I am simply someone who enjoys running and exploring the city with others. When you run with me, you do so at your own risk and will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging that I am not liable for any accidents or injuries. Rest assured, I will make every effort to ensure your safety and happiness!
