What a fantastic way for runners to see Sydney. From running along the Harbor with stunning views of the opera house to crossing the Sydney harbour bridge, this is a must do for anyone who loves to run and sightsee. Our guide Gregor was wonderful. He tailored the speed to our group and took a bunch of great photos that will solidify our lasting memories!

Itinerary
We begin in Hyde Park, Sydney’s oldest public park and a peaceful green space steeped in colonial history.
At Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, we take in panoramic harbour views and hear stories of convicts, governors, and grand visions.
Beneath the Opera House sails, we unpack the story of this world-famous icon—from controversy to cultural triumph.
In The Rocks, we jog through cobbled laneways filled with tales of convicts, trade, crime, and resilience.
Crossing the Harbour Bridge, we enjoy breathtaking skyline views and reflect on the bridge’s epic engineering legacy.
We run through Kirribilli, a harbourside village home to heritage charm and Australia’s political residences.
We finish with coffee by the water and then catch a ferry back to Circular Quay.

I had a wonderful time of the Sydney Running Tour this morning. I was the only person, so I ended up getting a private tour with Gregor. He was a fantastic tour guide and I enjoyed running through Sydney with him. The route included wonderful views of the Opera House and the Bridge and I loved running by the water and across the bridge. Highly recommend this tour!
I ran around bay in Sydney with a guide, Gregor. He took me a lot of attractive place where I should go such as the beautiful park along the bay, Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge. He explained me the history, culture and his favorite place. I recognized that the running is the best way to know the city. Thanks, Gregor!
Thankyou Leigh for a fantastic morning running around Sydney. We covered 18km and ran around the Opera House, over the Harbour Bridge and throughout the city. Leigh was a helpful and knowledgeable guide who kept to the pace I was seeking. Great company, highly recommend.
Stacey was an excellent guide! I had such an amazing time on this tour and learned so much cool stuff. It was great to stop at so many cool places, take pictures, and see so much of the city. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
Stacey was a fantastic guide! I learnt so much about Sydney even though I used to live there! The drink and ferry ride back from Kiribilli was also a highlight!
The FitCity running tours are a great way to start a trip, get a general sense of direction in the city, and get a quick preview of the sights while having a fantastic workout.
On my second day in Sydney I met Jamie from RunningtoursSydney. We met in HydePark early on Sunday morning and ran 9km, finishing over the bridge at Kirribilli Ferry Station. We ran past art galleries & museums, through parks, along the coastline and beside St. Andrews pool (which I cooled off in later that day!) Jamie was very knowledgable so as well as having a good chat I also learnt a lot about the history of Australia and visited the houses of the President and the slave who was allowed to be a free man. I also got some amazing shots of the sydneyharbourbridge from the drmaryboothlookout. The @RunningToursSydney Harbour Sights Tour includes a coffee which we had at Celsiouscoffeeco a gorgeous little cafe on the water before coming back. Before and after my tour I was contacted by the companies customer experience manager, who offered to give me additional tips on places to go during my stay and I was really impressed by the companies customer service and professionalism. Would highly recommend to anyone :)
