Many runners have difficulty maintaining their exercise regimen while traveling, but a running tour offered in Paris can solve this problem, according to Paris Running Tours. The tours let you see the city while jogging like a local.
The difficulty of maintaining an exercise routine is understandable because when traveling, the priority is site seeing and being on vacation, many people want to relax, and getting up early to exercise doesn't feel very relaxing.
The running tour is operated by Paris Running Tours, and most tours range in length from about 3.7 to 7.5 miles and last for about an hour. They also offer a tour that is about 12.5 miles and lasts for about two hours. The number of sites covered by the run depends on your running pace. If you are a slower runner, you can extend the length of your run for a fee.
Tours are led by a personal coach, which the company describes as "highly experienced Parisian joggers (marathon & triathlon runners, etc.) who know all about Paris and its secrets, having been running there on a daily basis for several years."
Tours provide the option of beginning at your hotel or at a more centralized landmark.
The two biggest tours are the Right Bank Tour, which includes many monuments, and the Left Bank Tour, which includes a tour of St. Germain des Pres.
There are also more focused tours, including the Parisian Canal Tour, Banks of the Seine tour and the French Revolution Tour.
Tours can also be customized based on whatever specifications you have.
The tours cost about $105 for a 60-minute one-person running tour and about 4150 for a 120-minute one-person run. Group tours cost less, lowering to approximately $70 and $80 per person. Extending the run by 30 minutes cost about $40.
