What they're saying about New Orleans Jogging Tours.
My wife and I took this tour last month on our honeymoon. I wanted to do something fun, so I figured why not. My favorite part was running on the street car line, which I noticed a lot of locals did the same. Our guide Mac was phenomenal, that guy really knew a lot about New Orleans. ~ Daniel Jones
I felt great after taking the jogging tour. The previous night I went out on Bourbon and drank a handgrenade (or two) with my girlfriends, and the next thing I know I was sweating it all out running through the Garden District. I really got a good feel of what it was like to live in New Orleans 300 years ago. My guide Earl was very knowledgeable. Not to mention he made the run very easy for me and my girlfriends. We stopped a few times for water and a talk. I would definitely do this tour again when I return in the Spring for my conference. ~ Rachel Quinn
This was the best tour I have ever taken. I think I literally ran through the entire city! Our guide Mac made the tour fun and interesting. He answered all of our group’s questions with no problems. We even got a much needed sprinkle of rain to cool us off as we ran. My favorite part was running on the Mississippi river. ~ Jimmy J.
THANK YOU NEW ORLEANS JOGGING TOURS!!! My Tour Guide MAC was awesome! I travel the country quite often for my job, and I always like to run in different cities. I was thrilled to find that New Orleans offered a jogging tour, I sometimes grow tired of jogging by myself. I was so glad that I was able to run with with some other joggers from around the country. Everybody got along great. After the tour I did not feel bad about eating a giant seafood platter and bread pudding, yum! ~ Nancy Brown
This tour was such a fun and unique experience. The guide was hilarious and knew a lot about the city. And it allowed my husband and I to see all the wonderful sights of New Orleans while keeping active, so that we didn’t feel as guilty while we enjoyed the wonderful foods later. ~ Mary Sylvetti, Wisconsin
This was a really great experience for me and my family. It gave us a way to see the city and stay fit. It was fun and the guide was really chill. ~ Cindy Johnson, North Carolina
Being a teen I didn’t think I’d have fun exerting a bunch of energy. But I found my self so absorbed in the beauty of the city that I didn’t even notice I was jogging or exhausted. It was a lot of fun. ~ Kelsey Harris

We have been so busy lately that we have not had time to write these Blogs! After all we a runners, not writers. But who says a runner can’t be a writer, or a gymnast a playwright, or a psalmist a bodybuilder, or a teacher a student, or a lawyer an ice cream scooper… whatever. [...]
So you came to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, and you want to take a tour to see the city. I don’t think so! If you want to see the city, you can’t take a bus tour, because all the streets are closed for the parades. The city will be gridlock. If you want to [...]
OMG! So I’m running with a group of people, and I notice an older gentlemen constantly rubbing his chest. I did not really pay it much attention. As he continued to do this along the tour, I thought he might be about to have a heart attack. He then took his nipple out of his [...]

So today I ran with a marathon runner. She ran everyday, 12 miles a day. The tour was going great, we kept a slow but steady pace. By the time we got to the half way point I was drenched in sweat, and she was not sweating at all. I was not tired, and neither [...]
Running alone in New Orleans can be dangerous and stupid, especially at night. Some people who run alone in New Orleans can fall victim to people, animals and cars. Some tourist run into neighborhoods because they are historic, but they don’t know that it is also the hood! I am not just saying this to [...]
When taking a New Orleans Running Tour, be sure to have the proper foot wear. We have had runners in flip flops, sandals, swimming shoes, penny loafers, boots, vibrams, and skeletons. I am waiting for the day when we get someone in high heels. As a matter of fact, the first person to show up [...]
When partaking in a new orleans running tour, it is a good idea to tell your guide what you will be wearing when you show up to take the tour. Many a times have I greeted someone in the morning thinking they where a guest, and ended up being just a random pedestrian. When talking [...]
Today was a little weird. Every time we stopped to talk about the houses in the Garden District, a lizard jumped out! Yes, a Lizard. A Bahama Anole to be exact. Why this happened I don’t know. I would have never noticed until a woman in the group pointed out that one was on her [...]
