Austin not only offers more than a century's worth of history as the capital of Texas, but also lays claim to the title of 'Music Capital of the World', 'Silicon Hills', and the most progressive city in Texas because of the local's devotion to the mantra 'Keep Austin Weird'. With bright clear skies, sunny landscapes, and a bustling downtown, Austin is best seen while afoot. By offering an assortment of themed runs, CRT Austin allows you to explore the history of Texas' statehood, Austin's vibrant music scene, and a beautiful run around Lady Bird Lake that ends with Austins's famous Bat colony exodus from the South Congress Bridge. By running with City Running Tours, you can see these things first hand with a knowledgeable guide who shares your passion for running. « less

This is such a fun and unique way to see the city! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgable, fun and accommodating to our running pace. I learned things about Austin I never knew and saw parts I had never been to. I have lived in Austin for 11 years! Post run we had some great food and drinks Lee felt... More

This was my first trip to Austin. I did a personalized 7-mile running tour early one morning. Dominique was a great guide & running partner - professional, relaxed, informative & fun! We went at my pace through lots of different neighborhoods, enabling me to get a feel for the city while learning about Austin's history & it's current cultural pulse.... More

I scheduled this tour last minute for my husband and I during our stay in Austin. As we are currently traveling across country we want to see as much of the city as possible in a short period of time. This was perfect. We did the 5K beer run. Our tour guide was Dominique. He was awesome. It was just... More

I live in austin, never been on a tour before. It was a great adventure. The run was very casual, no extreme pace or anything, and the beer...well lets just say we went back to the bars that night. It never hurts to learn a little something extra so overall, an awesome experience.

Went for the 5k beer run tour last night for a girlfriend's birthday. It was a great way to see Austin in a totally new way. I have lived here for years but learned lots of cool history about downtown. Lee was awesome! Get a group together and check it out. Oh and the beer was a good touch!

I recently went to Austin to visit friends and was excited to find a tour with beer and exercise. An informative guide ran us through the city spouting little known facts about the surrounding environment. And we stopped to sample several beers on famous Congress ave. I certainly learned more about Austin on a leisurely 5K than I had in... More

My bachelorette friends and I from California and Seattle had an amazing time running through the city, seeing sights, and drinking beer. We all agreed it was an amazing experience and would recommend to anyone. The guides were very fun too! The run was easy and slow, anyone could do it. So do it!
