Description
Make room for wanderlust. Experience the world with running shoes in your luggage. Epic Runs of the World shows how a run can be the gateway to a city, a landscape, or an entire journey, from short loops to marathons and long challenges in nature.
Experiences and content. The book presents 50 running routes and an additional 150 suggestions, with photographs, maps, and practical information on start, finish, access, and accommodation. Examples range from Vancouver’s Stanley Park and Havana’s Malecón to river running in Kyoto, the Athens Marathon, and the Kepler Track in New Zealand. The tours are organized by continent, allowing you to browse by destination or let a route be the starting point for your planning.
Who is this book suitable for? This book is suitable for those who enjoy combining running and travel, and who want to find ideas beyond the usual city tours. It also makes a great gift for a runner constantly seeking a new goal.
From inspiration to your own plan. Feel free to browse without a fixed plan, and note what sparks your curiosity. Compare a familiar destination with one you haven’t considered before, or let a specific experience be the starting point for further reading. The book can also be shared with travel companions to discover which ideas you’d most like to explore together.
A physical book is also great to revisit during planning. Lay it out when the next stage is to be discussed, find an idea you’ve noted, and let the plan evolve as you become more familiar with the possibilities.
