Description

This is a unique guided tour exploring Glasgow, that combines history, sightseeing and running! It’s perfect for visitors who want to make the most of their time in Glasgow and get an overview of the city and the key sights from a local, without missing out on exercise. We’ll take in the major landmarks but also some ‘off-the-beaten-track’ sights and local knowledge that you won’t find in a tour book: the buildings and statues, the amazing street art, the best bars and restaurants, and the untold stories about Glasgow’s past and present.

Running, rain, history and lots of fun

I have been to Glasgow a number of times for work but never had time to look around. I booked the running tour as a way to see lots of the city on foot and to get some exercise at the same time. Sean met me at 9 am on a damp Sunday morning and made me feel immediately at ease. He started off giving me a general overview of the city's history before heading off east towards the cathedral and necropolis. We stopped intermittently to take in various sites along the way, the numerous wall murals being a particular highlight. Sean has a skill of bringing the city and its history to life and I barely noticed the rain as we trotted along, chatting away. We looped back by jogging besides the Clyde and finished by the infamous statue of Wellington adorned by the ubiquitous traffic cones. An excellent tour and so glad I made the effort - would highly recommend

Great Experience for Joggers / Runners in Glasgow

Sean is both a great coch for the Run and the perfect guide to discover Glasgow and tell us about his city. Our group consited only of my son and me , so we had the privilege of a private tour. But I think also in slightly smaller groups (anyway the limit I think is 5 or 6 clients) everyone will have a perfect experience. For joggers and runners I think it's one of the niciest ways the learn more about the town. And the running speed was just perfect for us. And last but not least, Sean makes really great pictures during the run (if you agree) which he shares immediately after by air drop. So no hazzle to make own pictures during running.

Excellent

Excellent tour. Would recommend. No need to be a super fast runner, the run is at a very steady pace with plenty of stops for information and photos. Highlights for me were Necropolis and Barrowlands which I wouldn’t have ventured to on my own. Great way to see the city.

Glasgow city run

My friend and I had a brilliant time with our guide Sean Reid. He was warm friendly and engaging. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we ran through. Highly recommend this group to see Glasgow from a different perspective.

Aye Run, do it, an excellent way to see the city!

Booked on the Aye Run tour as a Doors Open Day activity, it was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of really interesting information en route and a great way to see things in your home city that you usually take for granted. Definitely booking another run, Sean is a great guide.

History, nostalgia, fitness and FUN!

If you want to see Glasgow in a totally unique way, run it with Sean from Aye Run. Sean went out of his way to make the run relevant to me, even taking us off track on occasion. I learned so much about Glasgow’s beginnings, which, as a tourist in my old hometown, was surprising and fascinating. I was especially impressed that Sean managed to keep the pace, deliver a lively commentary, and snap some fun photos along the way! If you can run a few kilometres and have your running shoes with you, jump on this tour. It’s at a comfortable pace and offers great value
