About Urban Stride
We combine two things we love — running and London — to create unforgettable experiences.
Our Story
Urban Stride was born from a simple idea: the best way to experience a city is on the run. Not rushing through it, but literally running through its streets, parks and hidden corners with someone who knows them inside out.
As runners and Londoners, we know that there's something special about seeing the city wake up on an early morning run — the light hitting the Thames, the quiet streets around Westminster before the crowds arrive, the buzz of Borough Market as it opens.
We wanted to share that with visitors, business travellers and anyone who'd rather lace up their trainers than sit on a tour bus. So we created Urban Stride — private, guided running tours that show you London the way locals experience it.
What Makes Us Different
We're not a big tour operator. We're runners who happen to love showing people around London. Every tour is private, personal and tailored to you.
- Every tour is private — it's just you, your group, and a local guide. Completely personalised
- We adapt pace and distance to your fitness level
- Our guides are passionate runners and London locals
- We stop for photos at the best spots
- We share stories and local knowledge you won't find in guidebooks
Our Values
Passion
We genuinely love running and London. That enthusiasm is infectious and makes every tour special.
Personal
No two runners are the same. We tailor every experience to the individual.
Safety First
Every route is carefully planned with runner safety as the top priority. We carry full public liability insurance for your peace of mind.
"Great run! Enjoyed the route and Alan was very friendly and informative. Just my husband and I and we ran 10km at a good pace for us. Highly recommend this tour. We even got lots of pictures before the crowds came out."Katherine — Canada, GetYourGuide
