About Go! Running Tours

Go! Running Tours is 100% bootstrapped and profitable. We are a team of 70 fun, hard-working, and kind people who all like autonomy and making an impact.

We 💓 running, our cities, and our customers. We aim to provide amazing experiences, from the first time a guest visits our website to them standing sweaty and full of endorphins having just finished a run with us. We want them to fall in love with us again and again.

We are on a mission to unite people around the world through a shared passion for running and by sharing our heritage, culture, and cities. Facilitating unity as opposed to division.

How we work:

We work remotely, so whether you are sitting on a beach in Bali, a snow hut in Greenland, or in your living room buried in toys and dirty laundry, we don’t care as long as you have a fast internet connection. Lena (big boss and founder) is based in Copenhagen, and you’ll have colleagues in 50 cities around the world.

The central team meets online twice a week, and you should expect no more than 3-5 hours of meetings per week. The rest of the time is devoted to getting stuff done and deep work.
