Frequently asked questions

Usually between 2 and 12 people. Please do enquire about private tours for larger groups, as we may be able to make this work.
Wear clothing that you would normally run in. Ensure that you wear comfortable running trainers which will be able to handle multiple surfaces including cobbled streets, especially if wet. Come prepared to deal with the weather, both as forecast and should unexpected changes happen.
You don't need to bring anything other than yourselves. You may also want to bring a small bag which you can run with, or a running belt, with valuables, phone (for photos!), and perhaps water and an extra layer if you need.
