Who We Are

Iconic San Diego Running Tours was founded by Theresa and Slava Kolpakov to celebrate San Diego's vibrant culture and its active lifestyle. We have been exploring San Diego on foot since 2002. 

We both lead our tours, as well as employ other fun and knowledgeable guides to assist us.

 Your San Diego Running Guides

Slava Kolpakov

Slava is an avid runner, a yoga therapist, a RRCA-certified running coach, and a sports therapist specializing in sports-related tension recovery, injury-prevention, and strength and flexibility training. Hence, all of our tours have an element of natural running form coaching, and best warm-up and stretching exercises ("because I cannot help myself to help other people run better").

My wife & I have been living in North County San Diego for over 2 years now and counting…
