River City Run — Attraction in San Antonio

This was such a fun way to get to see the major San Antonio sights as well as hear about its history - I have been to San Antonio before and done the major attraction tours, but I still learned so much!

The guide I had was great - she was super personable and friendly with all the other runners. She seemed to not only know a ton about San Antonio's history and neat little facts about random little features I bet many of us would walk by without even noticing, but she also seemed to know a lot of the local people we ran by too - I thought that was a nice touch, it made the experience of touring San Antonio feel so much more friendly.

The run is formatted so it can accommodate a whole bunch of running paces... we were stopping pretty frequently, which allowed the whole spread of running paces to stay together.

Apparently other cities have running tours too, and after this experience I will definitely try and make a point to do it again when traveling... I just hope they are as friendly, informative and interesting as this tour was. Thank you River City Run for the amazing tour - I cannot recommend "y'all"...

First of all, I am not the 'best' runner in the world....BUT I enjoy being outside and doing outside activities. I've been a resident of San Antonio for 28 years and been wanting to find something informational about downtown San Antonio. Before attending this run I thought I would know 'some' facts of this tour but I still wanted the experience.

I was hugely mistaken! Tina and Tommy opened my eyes to the downtown San Antonio history. I was blown away with all the facts and information they delivered. I also enjoyed the specific sites and route they picked. I had the best morning learning things about San Antonio history and got a great workout.

I really really have to thank Tommy for running with me. Again, as I stated above I am not the 'best' runner. Tommy was so nice to stay with me throughout the run. (I was the last one in the group...at every stop...haha) And Tina was so sweet to wait for me to join the group to begin her commentary on the various sites.

Y'all are the best! This tour was fantastic!...

My husband, mother, and myself ran the River City Run tour and really enjoyed the experience! Although I live in San Antonio, I'm not originally from here, so learning about the historic spots in downtown San Antonio was very interesting and made me more proud of my adopted city!

I'm not much of a runner and the pace was easy for me to keep up. My mom is an avid runner and the pace did not bore her. During longer stretches of the tour, the tour guides split up so the slower runners could take their time to get to the next destination.

I highly recommend this tour for any visitors looking for a healthy way to start their morning and learn more about San Antonio. I also recommend for any longterm residents as a fun refresher of our history and enjoy downtown before...
