Ian was so much fun to run with. Lots of great info about Philadelphia and you get a great workout!

By far, one of the coolest runs I’ve ever done! I have been a fan of Rocky ever since I saw the first movie in the theater at the age of 5. So thankful that my husband found this website and encouraged me to do it. What a neat way to see the city and get to do something pretty cool. Ian was a phenomenal tour guide and a wealth of knowledge. I was very blessed to have him all to myself as a personal guide on this journey. If you love running and Rocky, this is a must do!!!

Well, summary upfront: If you are a runner and think about doing this, DO IT! It was one fantastic experience, totally different to any regular guided tour, and so much better! Ian knows so much about the city, the area, its history, and he brings it across in a way that even a person who is not overly interested in history - I happen to know one ;) - can easily relate to it and pick up tons of interesting facts. And then you will do it running! Which makes you feel so much less like a tourist. You could be just any local, doing a little run with your buddies! Groups are apparently rather small, I happened to get a private tour with him. At the end, he will email you a summary of your run, with all the places you visited and the basic facts. As for the running part of it dont let it scare you off, even if you are not too experienced as a runner. The pace will always stay relaxed, Ian is very accommodative, and he keeps it down to a level at which he can comfortably talk. You should be able to do 4 to 5 miles at an easy pace, but that is about it. Personal tip: Do it at the beginning of your stay in Philly. You will see the city with different eyes after this!

Highly recommend for runners looking to experience Philly in an (inter)active way! Ian was a wonderful guide and very accommodating for our group. We ran by a number of murals and other local attractions. Id love to do this in every city I travel to : )

Wonderful experience and a great way to see and learn about Philadelphia, while getting some exercise. Ian is full of energy, fun and information, and I truly had a blast on the tour. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in checking out the sights and learning about the citys rich history from a great, knowledgeable guide.

Ian was fabulous to work with and so knowledgeable about the city. I loved learning about the history of the city and the mural arts program. Would definitely run with Ian again! Highly recommend:)

We were a group of 13, 35-65 year old professionals from several countries in Philly for a conference. Ian, our tour guide, went at our collective pace, stopped to highlight sights & was knowledgeable & fun! We had a great time, saw a LOT in a short time & even got a chance to network with each other a bit enroute! I highly recommend this outdoor experience!ChristineCalgary, Can.

From iconic history, to little-known facts, to pop culture references, Ian has the city of Philadelphia covered. His knowledge makes this tour the most efficient way for a native or a tourist to get in a workout while learning something about this amazing city. And his energy is infectious. As a slow runner, I also appreciate that he is able to calibrate the tour for marathoners (like himself) or slow trotters (like me).

Definitely worth it! Great way to discover Philadelphia. Ive lived here for 4 years, but Ian still managed to show and tell me a bunch of things I wasnt aware of. Interesting, fun, and you get to work out at the same time. Awesome!

SeePhillyRun delivered a refreshing and unique team building activity for our company. Our guide Ian was perfect. Before our run, Ian asked about our company interests and based on our conversation, he designed a trivia-themed run through the heart of Philadelphia. We ran as a group, but paused at points of interest to battle it out as team Benjamin Franklin vs. team William Penn. We had a blast, and even people who wouldnt typically categorize themselves as athletic had a great time because the pace and the resting points were masterfully planned. We highly recommend SeePhillyRun for any group looking to spend some time with each other outdoors and who want to learn about this historically rich city!

I run aside Ian in October. It was a REALLY different experience. A mix of running and historical tour. You can get a totally different approach regarding Philadelphia and USA history. Details about important landmarks of the city fly through your ears as you run with different people enjoying the landscape.

I have been a Philly resident going on 6 years now, but Ian made me realize I havent begun to scratch the surface of the rich history and current happenings this wonderful city has to offer. Wether your a local or a visitor, youre going to leave feeling energized from the run and fun facts and ready to keep exploring Philadelphia. Thanks Ian!

I had a great experience doing this run with Ian! Ive lived in Philly almost my entire life and yet throughout this run, I kept finding out more and more fun facts I wasnt aware of. For other Philadelphians, this is a great way to learn more about your city while getting in a good workout. For visitors to Philly, running with Ian is much better than your hotel gym and also provides you with a sense of community while being in a new city. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves history, good conversation, and a casual workout!

I had a great time on this run. Learnt so much about Philadelphia pounding the pavement. Great thing to do ! Ian is very passionate and knowledgeable.

This was my first running tour Ive done while on vacation, and it will not be my last. This is the best way to see the city, and Ian knows it inside and out. Ian also provides a ton of information on where to go and what to see while you are visiting. I would suggest doing this at the very beginning of your trip so you have enough time to try out some of his favourite spots.

Amazing running tour through Philadelphia. See all the sites and get a feel for the true Philly experience. Ian is a great tour guide with a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend this experience for anybody in town!

Easy pace, diversified sites, and a fun and knowledgeable guide. This is a great way to see the city!

Ian provided a unique twist and a wealth of Philadelphia knowledge on his running tour! He kept a fun running pace throughout the tour while giving me and my friends non-stop information. At the end of the tour I was surprised at all the new information I learned about Philly and was happy I got a great workout in!!

Ian is a Philadelphia sevant. This is a pretty amazing thing to experience. I learned so much about the city and the significance of rocky to it. Thank you Ian.

I loved discovering new places in Philly and learning about the fascinating history of this cool town. Ian is a very experienced and knowledgeable tourguide. The workout was a wonderful bonus. I highly recommend the run for anyone visiting Philly, and also for locals who want to learn more about their own city, while working a sweat.

Great way to learn history and get a workout in on vacation. Really enjoyed our run and company.

Highly recommend this experience for anybody in town! Great way to experience Philly.

Energising, enthralling tour. Such a fun, healthy way to explore beautiful Philly! Had a blast!

I highly recommend this run. The pace was perfect for me and Ian knows so much about Philadelphia’s history. Would love to go again!

This was a fantastic, fun and informative experience. I am a third generation Philadelphian and Ian shared so much about ‘my city’ that I never knew. Ian accommodated all the participants needs, stopping to take photos or for a quick rest. Ian carefully navigated us through traffic while relating stories about Philadelphia’s history as we ran past sites, parks and buildings of interest. I would recommend running with Ian for anyone, both tourists and Philadelphians who wants to learn about the city of brotherly love while getting in a workout too!!

Awesome run. Got to learn Phillys amazing history and getting a great work out. Whats not to love!

Had a great time. Recommend this fun run to all

Ians running tour of philadelphia was great! My girlfriend loves running and had never been to philadelphia, so I thought it would be a great way to show her around the city. I am from Philly originally but still learned a lot of really interesting facts. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique activity to do while in Philadelphia.

I have been living in Philly for the past three years, But Ian shared so many facts about the city that I call home that I really didnt know about. I am not a runner but I work out so the pace that he kept up and the information that he was sharing at the same time was a perfect balance. I got my work out in and I learned about philly and where I should go eat in China town. He answered all of my random questions. Had a great attitude! I have recommended this run to my friends who live in philly (because they probably dont know half of the facts about the city) and I also recommend this to people visiting in philly, who want to get a workout in but also get involved and connected with the city!
