Runner on the ground - CITLA
10 years of running
On this tour you will run through the heart of Mexico City. As you run through the main downtown streets you will discover a combination of our most ancient history, the architecture from the XVI to XIX century as well as 21st century State of the Art buildings.
We will also experience the historical side of the city. The Constitution square or “Zócalo”, as it is usually called, is surrounded by colonial architecture like “La Catedral Metropolitana” (Metropolitan Cathedral), Mexico’s Presidential offices, the “Palacio Nacional” and the “Templo Mayor”, the main building of the old “Tenochtitlan”, the Aztec City. Also the “La Alameda”, a park where the aristocratic society of the 19th century used to walk and hangout during the weekends, is an area you will discover on this tour.
These are just some examples of the wonderful places you will see on this incredible running tour, through one of the most populated, busy and complex cities of the world.
Come on and discover our vibrant and vast culture on the Historical Downtown tour.

I went in January with a friend and we had such a great time with Citla. We chose the 5K since we didn’t want to tire ourselves out. It was easy to meet up at the Monument and from there we jogged through downtown, at a comfortable pace, with stops at plazas, monuments, and more. I loved hearing the history in context and Citla pointed out things we definitely would have missed on our own. Citla is an accomplished runner, but she kept the pace slow as I had requested. Running tours are such a great way to see the city. Highly recommend!
