    MONTJUÏC HILL

    PRIVATE RUNNING TOUR

TOUR DESCRIPTION
WHAT WILL WE EXPLORE ON THIS RUN

"Faster, Higher, Stronger!" - The Olympic motto will guide us over the Montjuic hill. But don't worry! We will discover this fantastic place in a more relaxed way without breaking records.
The Montjuíc Hill is one of our absolute favorite tours. This tour combines running, history, architecture, nature and the Olympic Spirit in one run. And on top of all of that we will have amazing views over the mediterranean sea and Barcelona.

This city hill was already part of Barcelona's history during the founding years about 2000 years ago, when a little fishermen settlement was located on the other side of this 176m high hill. While running you will discover why the name Montjuïc was given to this hill, why the fortress is a symbol for suppression and resistance of the Catalan people. But also a place for unforgettable views over the sea while running along the walls of this mighty castle.

The Olympic Park, stadium and venues will be another highlight of this running tour. The Games 1992 changed the city completely and we will see where athletes enjoyed two weeks of competition and being one sports family. Many interesting stories about the ceremony and the concept, which changed all future Olympic Games.

On the 10K tour distance option we will run also through the Teatre Grec park, an amphitheater, before we return to the World Fair center of 1929, Palau Nacional and the Magic Fountain where we also find a milestone of modern architecture - do you like to know which one? Join us over the Montjuïc Hill.

  • EQUIPMENT

    What should you bring to the start line?

    Beside of a big smile, you should be prepared for the weather conditions during the different seasons. So normally light running equipment is absolutely sufficient for Barcelona's climate. Especially in spring, summer and also parts of fall we always recommend to use any kind sun protection. A bottle of water during summer season is recommendable. We will also pass on our running tour many fountains with drinking water.

    Should children join us on a tour, then it should be in summer time obligatory to use caps and sun protection (sun lotion SPF 50+).

    And don't forget, we can have also sometimes some rain in Barcelona! So please be prepared by checking the weather forecast and with a light rain jacket. But don't worry, that happens not very often.
