... with even more sightseeing on the run in other cities
Regardless who first had the idea to combine guided city tours with sports, the concept finds appeal at many places of interest. As one of the pioneers in Germany Goesta Dreise started to guide his customers on a so called "TouristJogging" (slow run) through Hamburg in 2001. Not long after this a similar offer titled "Freiburg-Aktiv" became 2002 known from the city Freiburg in southern Germany. In July 2005 an offer from Rom received media focus. Adnkronos, a major Italian press agency, reported: tourists are introduced to the Italian capital on so called "SightJogging" tours which are carried out in six different languages to date. Almost at the same time in summer 2005 "City Running Tours" in the USA gained attention for its New York City runs. Until today "Sightseeing on the Run" has proceeded to develop with a remarkable selection of sites: Austin, Charleston, Chicago, San Diego and Washington DC.
Meanwhile the German efforts have caught up noticeable. Besides Berlin other cities such as Augsburg, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Esslingen near Stuttgart, Frankfurt a. M., Freiburg, Hannover, Lueneburg, Mainz, Munich, Offenbach and Regensburg offer guided tourist jogging, sightjogging or sightrunning tours. You can expect even more in near future...
