Xavier
First time running with a guide and it was perfect. Niall took us around Dublin while following the day running plan, which was over 10k at a conversational pace. While we ran, we also learned and enjoyed Dublin’s sights and best spots.

I had a great 15k run with David this morning. He matched my energy and pace, was very knowledgeable, and met me at my hotel at 6:30 am. It was a fantastic experience!!
Dani
Had my running tour with David and it was such a fun time! I got to see all the amazing sights in Dublin like the parks, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity College, and much more. I really appreciated that David was willing to make some stops so I could see all the cute ducks that Ireland had to offer. David was also a great guide and gave me tons of cool info about the history of the city. Would highly recommend!
Caitlin
I had the privilege of running with both Emer and Wesley. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience from planning my tour to running it. I needed to complete 22 miles for marathon training and had requested to complete 2 of the tours shown on the website. Emer was exceptional at planning a course that started at my hotel and ran me through the city and out to the "Dublin by the Sea" tour where I spent time with Wesley and then was guided back to my hotel by Emer. I cannot thank Emer and Wesley enough for the engaging conversation and history and culture I learned throughout the duration of my tour. If I'm ever in Dublin again I will definitely schedule another tour.

Dublin by the Sea; a must do tour for any runner! This was a brilliant way to experience the villages south of Dublin (just a 20 min DART ride out of Dublin). I learned about the history of the villages and harbors, saw some sites where TV/Films have been shot, watched some regular football and Gaelic football practices, and ran through lovely neighborhoods. With Emer by my side, we had a good chat and she ensured I didn’t get lost. Don’t be an eejit; get out of Dublin and do this tour by the Sea.
