Our classic route mostly runs along the Rhine. We have now established a new city route 🏙️through the streets and gardens of Düsseldorf – something a tourist, expat, or newcomer to Düsseldorf should know – for example about what “the Kö” means to the locals.
And when we say “gardens,” we mean it literally! Join us on this Sightseeing tour and experience how green Düsseldorf really is.

Schlossturm. Always a nice spot to start a running tour.

Sightrun through the City center – what to expect, what you will see:

7 km through the city with a relaxed speed with a lot of nature, streets and touching the soul of the city.

We start at the bank of the Rhine at the Schlossturm and walk a few hundred meters along the promenade. However, here we soon turn eastward and pass below the Oberkasseler Brücke with a view of a unique tunnel adorned with thousands of slide images.
Who can spot the tower, the clown, the Königsallee, or the pornographic images?
This artwork is as unassuming as it is wonderful; if you know what to look for, you can easily pass the time marveling at it.

Beyond the bridge, we continue into the garden once founded by Napoleon: the “Hofgarten”. Amidst peaceful greenery, we jog through the park, passing by two beautiful bridges and eventually reaching the Dreischeibenhaus.
This well-known and grand building connects various elements: the Hofgarten and Playhouse (Schauspielhaus) on one side, the door to our shopping street on the next side, and to the west lies the Old Town.

However, we continue northward, towards the Königsallee, also a kind of shopping street if you can afford it 💲💲💲.

Here you gain an impression of how and where one can go shopping in Düsseldorf.

We continue our tour towards Königsallee.

The Kö is probably the most famous street in this city. This is where the rich and beautiful go shopping or sit in a café, not to chat, but to stare and be seen.
But when we come, it will be different: because the rich snobs will now have to admire us sightrunners instead of the misguided fancy expensive sports cars that are only capable of driving in circles.



Running further along the Kö, we end up in another park, the Schwanenspiegel.
Crossing the short green section, our Sightrun continues towards an old familiar sight:
The good old television tower aka Fernsehturm. In contrast to our classic tour, you see it here very close!
We practically pass under the tower and get a great view of the Medienhafen, the city beach and Oberkassel.

And there it is again, the Rhine. The river accompanies us along the old town back to our starting point and after 7 kilometers we are back.

A little bit more fit, a little happier and certainly with new impressions!

For my 13-year-old son and me, Jens and Flo made fantastic running sightseeing partners. We met them at the agreed location and enjoyed a lovely jog along the Rhine, taking in the beautiful scenery of Düsseldorf along the way. They shared interesting local history, pointed out key landmarks and areas of interest, and gave us some great tips and recommendations for our stay. They also tailored the run perfectly to suit our ability level. With the temperature reaching 31°C, we opted for the shorter 6km route instead of the standard 8km, which worked really well. It was such a unique and enjoyable way to explore Düsseldorf, and my son especially loved it. He also had the chance to practise his German by chatting with Flo throughout the run, which was a real highlight for him. We’d absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city. It’s a great mix of fitness, sightseeing and great company. We also took up their recommendation to visit Takumi afterwards as a reward for our run — and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Thank you, Jens and Flo!

My boyfriend and I like to run in every city that we visit so I was so excited when I found Run2Know for our trip to Düsseldorf. Jens was so easy to work with, great communication and very accommodating. When the day of our run finally arrived it was super cold and windy, not the greatest running conditions for this Florida girl. But Jens and Flo were super friendly and fun to run with, letting me set the pace and decide when I was done. They also gave us some great recommendations for things to do while in town. Excellent tour, highly recommended!

Really great run. I did the XXL run and the guys made the 14km fly by with their stories along the way. I saw and learned so much about Dusseldorf. Definitely would run with them again.

Such an amazing experience. We had 12 people run with Jen and Flo the morning before our conference started. We got to see the city and stay fit. Highly recommend booking them!

Wer in einer unbekannten Stadt auf seinen Lauf nicht verzichten und gleichzeitig Interessantes und Wissenswertes über diese Stadt erfahren möchte, der sollte in Düsseldorf einen Lauf mit Jens oder Flo von Run2Know buchen. Man bekommt Fun Facts, Geschichtliches und Kurioses mit, aber auch Lauftips, es ist sehr kurzweilig und unterhaltsam. Danke an Jens und keep on running!

I did my Run2Know race last Sunday, 11.05. I highly recommend it to any new resident of Düsseldorf. You don’t need to be an experienced runner—the two organizers adapt to your pace. They can offer routes along the Rhine or through downtown Düsseldorf. Along the way, not only do you get to see the city’s main landmarks, but you also hear interesting anecdotes about them and get great tips on restaurants & bars. In short, a great outing with two very friendly organizers!

I really enjoyed my run through Dusseldorf with Jens and Flo. They set up a nice course along the river, through green parks in the downtown area, and across several bridges which afforded nice views. They also offer other routes through the city. Jens and Flo were enjoyable to talk with, and I immediately felt like we had been running together for years. It was interesting to hear about some of the history and culture of the area, and they shared some funny as well as serious stories about the region. I am very glad I signed up for this run, and I would highly recommend Run2know to runners visiting the area.

Absoluter Daumen nach oben! Ich habe mit Jens und Flo ein hervorragendes Sightrunning durch Düsseldorf erlebt, dabei viel Wissenswertes erfahren und tolle Locations gesehen. Wir sind ordentliche 8 km in ca. 45 Minuten gelaufen, was eine echt gute Pace ist. Die Beiden sind sehr sympathisch und die Terminfindung war easy. Weiter so!
