DREAM JOB UP FOR GRABS

Run, showcase your city, and get paid

A PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES

That’s how it started! A pair of running shoes and the passion for running and our home cities. And that is how Go! Running Tours continues to grow today. Passionate runners in each of our destinations equipped with a pair of running shoes and an unrivalled enthusiasm for their home city and giving true insights to travellers. These runners are our lead guides.

Do you love running too? Do you enjoy meeting people from all over the world? Do you want to do something new and different – such as creating and building one of the most rewarding and fun services available to runners? Then you have arrived at the right website and the right page. Because this is exactly what we do – we are passionate runners from all over the world, connected via a network (we call it the “Go! Family”) and with a shared goal of bringing running tours to every corner of the world and provide kick a** running tours to runners in each of our destinations.

Running tour guides often call their job the “best job in the world”, we know we certainly do. Our guests frequently describe their tour as “the highlight of their trip” and “the best way to see a city”. And it is this combination that makes the Go! Running Tours concept so special and why we are able to build a movement around it.

A movement of passionate running tour guides and a movement of guests that continue to run with us again and again every time they travel. But back to the job as a Go! Running Tours Lead Guide. There are very few jobs in the world, where you can bring your passion, a healthy activity and the fun of meeting people from around the globe together in one job….and one that even enable you to earn money. At the same time, it is very few jobs, where you work closely with people from all over the world and when you ask a question, then your answer is given by Daniel in Nairobi, Jenny in Hong Kong or Citla in Mexico City. And the true magic happens is when your guests have already had a great experience with one of your colleagues around the world, and they run with you, because your tours were personally recommended by their last running guide.

Sounds pretty easy – when you do it right! Running with a person from abroad is not difficult but ensuring that your product is the best in the market and exploiting the repeat business potential between cities is essential, and this is where our set-up comes into the picture.
