Description
Put on your running shoes and discover the highlights of Amsterdam. Crossing 31 bridges from Dam Square through the notorious Red Light District, the Medieval Centre and the Unesco World Heritage canal belt.
This fun running tour is not only a great workout but we make sure you leave us packed with lasting memories and great knowledge about dazzling Amsterdam.
We start at the Dam Square, the place where Amsterdam was born as a little fishing village in the 13th century, to soon become the world’s most important trading town. Under the smoke of the many coffee shops we cross the notorious Red Light District and explore the many medieval monuments this part of the town has to offer. Our run winds through the narrow cobbled streets of the city, along the scenic river Amstel and the many canals, making sure to cover the most important sites of this astonishing city.
Next to the touristic hot spots we will venture to some great places off the beaten track. They might be less known but maybe even more beautiful! On top of this we add some stunning “modern” Amsterdam, great views and many hidden gems. You will learn about the history of the town and the local guide will give you a unique insight into real life of the locals. All of this at your own pace and with plenty of time to stop and take pictures.
This is the ideal tour if you want to experience the highlights of Amsterdam. This amazing running tour covers more than many tourists get to see during a full weekend in Amsterdam.

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Amsterdam by foot. David was super knowledgeable about the city and was a great running guide. We kept a relaxed easy pace and stopped frequently for photos and to learn about the sites. Thank you, David!

A perfectly-paced and thoroughly informative running your. David was the perfect host and running companion. The best thing about a running tour is that you go off the beaten track and get a far better sense of the place you’re visiting.

If you are a runner or someone with a little too much energy for museums and walking tours, this is a perfect way to see the city. David was an excellent guide. We met at Central Station and ran all throughout downtown Amsterdam. We ran at a modest pace which was perfect to appreciate the scenery and talk about its significance while still getting in a decent workout. Along the way, he educated me on the history of the city and pointed out numerous sites of historical or architectural significance. We stopped at several good picture spots along way. This experience was exactly what I was looking for and I highly recommend it to anyone interested. I signed up the day before and got an email promptly after signing up on line where we were able to workout the details of exactly when and where we would meet. It was an excellent experience overall. I would gladly do it again and hope to see these running tours expand into other cities.

I travel often and enjoy taking a run to get my bearings when I visit a new place. A running tour turned out to make my running experience in Amsterdam better than what I could have done on my own. I highly recommend David and GoRun Tours in Amsterdam for any runners visiting the area who want a great memory!

Prima loopgids David. Vele weetjes over A’dam. Heerlijk rustig op zondagochtend door de binnenstad. Jammer van het hard regenweer, maar een fijne ervaring alleszins.

Superb run with David.
Great route to see most of the city centre sites, good local knowledge and stories and a really nice guy. The pace was perfect (better than the weather!) and set us up for a day of enjoying Amsterdam.
Definitely recommend this tour with David

Amsterdam is easy running with the very flat terrain. Still, it was good to have the guide to help navigate through all the channels and between all bicycles. I love combining a run with historic views of a city. David has a lot of interesting stories from Amsterdam that he shared. Very conveniently he called to agree on the running hour, and later picked me up at my hotel and run with me to the hotel after the tour.
I recommend anyone interested in running and city history to run Amsterdam with David.
