Run through San Diego's scenic and historic neighbourhoods. Explore Balboa Park, Banker's Hill bridges, Little Italy, and Embarcadero in a fun 7-mile tour.
Experience the natural beauty and vibrant culture of San Diego on a 7-mile running tour that combines the best of the Balboa Park and Seaport Village tours. This easy-paced, guided run takes you through some of the city's most iconic and picturesque neighbourhoods.

Start your journey in the lush surroundings of Balboa Park, where you'll meander through gardens and cultural landmarks. As you traverse El Prado, you'll encounter historic museums and notable sites like the San Diego Zoo. The route is designed to minimize road crossings and avoid unnecessary foot traffic, making for a smooth and enjoyable run. You'll explore the park's three major canyon systems: Cabrillo Canyon, Palm Canyon, and Florida Canyon, each offering unique landscapes and stories. Marvel at the rare Kauri pine and the massive Moreton Bay Fig tree, and admire architectural wonders from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, including the California Tower and the Botanical Building.

Next, cross the Cabrillo Bridge and discover the secret swinging bridge in the Banker's Hill neighbourhood. From there, head down to the vibrant Little Italy district, where you'll run through its bustling streets and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Continue to the Embarcadero, where you'll pass by iconic landmarks such as the famous Kissing Statue, the Fish Market, the USS Midway, and historic tall ships.

The tour concludes at Seaport Village, where you'll enjoy a few minutes of "Yoga for Runners" to stretch and relax. Your guides will provide you with a complimentary hydration beverage and a memorable t-shirt, leaving you refreshed and with a tangible keepsake of your experience.
