Overview

Explore historic Canterbury and the surrounding countryside as we take you around our city’s most beautiful and well-known icons. Discover the city's secrets and stories on a unique sight-running journey.

We'll run along the old city walls to the four corners of the city and through hundreds of years of stories. In just an hour you'll see and learn all about the key historic and cultural sites Canterbury has to offer, as well as discovering some of the city's many secrets.

Your guide will be happy to answer any questions you may have or even take a detour to show you something that may be of interest to the group.

The tour is suitable for all levels of runner, from beginner to expert. We will run at whichever pace feels most comfortable for the group and nobody gets left behind. Our tours contain frequent stops so you will most likely be able to run further and faster than you would on your usual run.
