Frequently Asked Questions

What is an urbanrunningtour?

An urbanrunningtour is a guided running Tour along a pre-determined route in London. We have 5 great routes for you to choose from, but we're also happy to tailor-make a Tour to your specific needs.

Are there any age restrictions?

Yes. Only persons aged 18 years or older can participate in an urbanrunningtour. We don't have an upper age limit - you just need to agree that you are in a suitable physical condition to participate in what could be intense physical activity. Please see our participation disclaimer for further details.

Do I have to book in advance?

Yes. We will do our best to accomodate all booking enquiries but to give you the best chance of participating in your preferred Tour at your preferred start time please send your bookings with at least 72hrs notice.

How long will my Tour last?

Our Tours vary in distance so, depending which one you choose, expect to be out running for anything between 35mins to just over an hour (depending on your own pace of course - it's your Tour so we'll go as fast or slow as you want!).

Can I take a detour?

Yes. We want you to have the best Tour possible so if you see something that interests you on the way round we're happy to go check it out with you.

How much will my Tour cost?

Our Tours have different prices which reflect the different distances so please check out our pricing info for further details.

What if I want to cancel my Tour?

Are discounts available?

Will there be anyone else on my Tour?

It's your Tour and we want to give you the best experience possible so that means no compromise on showing you the sights YOU want to see. Therefore, unless you've booked as a group there won't be anyone else on your Tour.

Do I need to sign a disclaimer?

Yes. We take safety very seriously however an urbanrunningtour can be an intense physical activity and all our Tours take place to some extent near vehicle traffice and busy roads so we need you to make sure you know the potential risks involved in participating in a running Tour.
