Sightrunning Düsseldorf – Explore what you will see

First of all, a disclaimer: We run a smooth tempo, you do not need to worry about speed or your condition, you will enjoy the Sightseeing tour.

We will start our tour “Sightrunning Düsseldorf” in the middle of the city in the oldtown – at the Schlossturm. We will align on chat or via phone to ensure how we will find each other.

From Schlossturm we will run with you to the North. We run along the Promenade of the Rhine river of Düsseldorf, leaving the core touristic area and show you the Northern part of the Rhine Park.

Form there we will run up to the Northern bridge (Theodor Heuss Bridge) from where you can see also our the stadium, the Merkur Spiel Arena.

This first part of Düsseldorf’s sightrun happens on the Eastern Side of the river.

Go West: Reaching Düsseldorf Oberkassel and Niederkassel, the more rich part of the city.

By passing the bridge we will cross the river and show you also the western part of the river.
Düsseldorf Niederkassel and Oberkassel. Being on the Western part of during our Düsseldorf Sightrun you will have a nice view on the Altstadt if good whether conditions allow it.

We will run along the street and will see a lot of luxury car brands.

On our most South spot of the Sightrun we will cross the third bridge, the Rheinkniebrücke. It is very close to the Rhinetower.

After crossing, we will enter the southern Part of the promenade. You will see -depending on the time- a lot of people idling around. Tourists and people from Düsseldorf share this place as it is one of the most beautiful ones to.

Finally we will end our Sightseeing tour at Schlossturm again, we will have ran 8 km, are a bit exhausted.
You know more about Düsseldorf and are happy that you did some Sports while you were here.

Later when you are back home, you will think:

“Düsseldorf is a very nice city and even if you are not born there, if you are afar and think of it, you will feel like being whimsical”

– as Heinrich Heine said.

You will know the difference between Oberkassel and Düsseldorf, you will know some nice spots to further do sports and if you fancy, you will also know (verbally) what is the difference between Alt beer and Kölsch beer. You actually did do Sightseeing in Düsseldorf by doing a Sightrun.

Then you know that you successfully RUN2KNOW Düsseldorf with us!

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.

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!
