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.

Really enjoyable running tour! Neil was a great guide - very knowledgeable and set the tone (and the pace!) exactly right. A perfect introduction to the city. Thanks Neil!

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.

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
An amazing, alternative way to see Glasgow with a great guide

Loved the guided running tour with Sean, who is very knowledgeable about all things glasgow throughout the tour. Very friendly and accommodating with questions via email before the run. Well worth the money and a great way to see glasgow and gain knowledge that a lot of the locals won't even know. Sean took pictures throughout and sent them almost immediately after the run ended which was a nice touch

What an amazing way to see the city! It was our first time taking a running tour and Sean was a great guide! He shared a lot of interesting stories about Glasgow without boring historical lectures. We saw the city centre and learned about Glasgow history from ancient times to modern days. Totally recommend!

Sean was super flexible and helpful in curating an early morning run to fit our schedule and interests. We had a really good time and loved the combination of morning exercise & learning about Glasgow's history. 10/10 would recommend!
A fun way to learn while running.
