We recently returned from a long weekend in Madrid, it was our second visit so I wanted to see some new things. My wife and I decided to sign up to the 9k running tour and we are so glad we did! We opted to start early morning while the temperature was not too high. Our guide Ulrik, was very friendly and accommodating - we are both quite fit but by no means marathon runners, so we asked Ulrik to keep the pace easy which he was more than happy to do for us. Ulrik has a really good knowledge of Madrid having lived there for a number of years, he pointed out numerous landmarks and was full of interesting facts about them. Ulrik also had many recommendations for places to eat and drink and pointed these out as we passed them - these came in very useful for the rest of our stay! There were plenty of stops along the way so it actually didn't feel like we had run 9k at all by the end of it. A great experience all round!Ulrik is fantastic! He is not only a great runner with so much knowledge of the city, but he is also very patient with runners of all levels. He has tons of wonderful recommendations for restaurants/bars, cultural sites, and information about the local culture and customs. My family and I high...

As a resident of Madrid for more than 2 years and an avid runner, this activity provided a change of my running routines. Ulrik had been very friendly and knowledgeable during the guided tour. It was interesting to still learn new historical details of the famous landmarks that I would walk by multiple times. I would highly recommend this for a traveller/runner as well as any resident of Madrid who wants to explore this beautiful city.
