We’ve just released all the new dates, trip descriptions and itineraries for six incredible running vacations in 2015.
“No matter which place you choose, you enjoy a fully catered running vacation that immerses you in local culture, history, cuisine and spectacular natural environments,” says Pablo Rodriguez, co-founder of Run the World Adventures, which caters to various levels of fitness, running experience and degree of adventure, from exposed high alpine to African savanna.
