Join a themed running tour of London and experience a side of the city that most people never see. We began life as a running tours company.

"Sightrunning"

Explore the sights of a city whilst going for a run. We quickly became London's favourite running tour provider but also discovered something else that we could do. Immersive team running challenges - solve a murder based in London's sordid past out on the streets of London. We'll give you a map and brief you on the investigation. And then you're off to the streets to find witnesses, suspects and clues. The fastest team to get the right answer wins. We quickly found that our knowledge of London's history coupled with our vivid imagination made us the perfect company for these team challenges. And they've become pretty popular. We'd love you to join us for a private tour, group tour or team challenge event. We'll show you a side of London that most people never see.
