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.

Itinerary

  • Canterbury Cathedral (Pass By)

    Our city tour starts and ends outside the cathedral. Your guide will give you a rich insight into the role and importance of the cathedral in the city's history, it's dramatic past and the role it serves today.

  • Canterbury City Walls (Pass By)

    When you're up on the city walls, you're running along 2,000 years of history. Hear all about how the walls went from primitive Roman defences to the fortified stone work that you see today.

  • Dane John Gardens

    The highest point of the tour is on Dane John Mound, the mysterious hill in the city's central park. From here you can see most of the city and get a sense of it's scale and beauty.

  • Westgate Towers Museum & Viewpoint

    The main entrance into the city, this medieval tower and gatehouse stands at an imposing 18 metres and is the oldest surviving surviving tower in Britain. Built in 1378, your guide will show you some of it's secrets and explain how it was the first sight many visitors would see on arrival to the city.

Fantastic info about the city.

Published on May, 2025

Brilliant run through Canterbury, I thought I had a bit of local knowledge, but this chap is fantastic & speaks with real passion about the city. Andy ran at my (slow) pace for me and pointed out & discussed so many things that I walk passed everyday without noticing. When I get a bit fitter, I'll be joining in the 10K trip. Highly recommend going along to this weather your local or visiting.

Awesome 5km running tour

Published on Mar, 2025

The best city tour I’ve ever been on! Such a unique idea and a fun way to explore. Andy was so knowledgeable and knew so much history. He was also able to accommodate a different start time as I was unable to make the 7am time. I messaged him a week prior on Instagram and he was quick to reply with alternate times. Super recommend for anyone wanting to explore the area!

The tour was recommended by a friend and it didn’t disappoint! We really got to see the city and learnt so much all whilst moving our bodies out in the sun! Andy was friendly and relaxed and made sure we were all happy with the pace whilst spouting endless facts and stories about Canterbury. Thanks Andy!
