Lonely Planet Epic Runs of the World: explore the world's most thrilling running routes and trails

Product Information

So, lace up your trainers, explore new places (I’ve already bookmarked my dream routes in Lonely Planet’s ‘Epic Runs of the World’) and focus on the journey, not the destination. There is no phone coverage outside of towns, so make sure you travel with a spare tire other basic repair equipment – and know how to use it. Other drivers will stop to help in case of breakdown. This follows up to Lonely Planet’s Epic Bike Rides of the World (2016), Epic Drives of the World(2017), and Epic Hikes of the World (2018), which is an unmissable runner’s companion.

As a non-stop mum of two little ones, running provides valuable ‘me time’. A time to reset, chase that runner’s high, clear head-space, appreciate nature, set goals and enjoy the feeling of euphoria when the endorphin rush hits. Although nothing makes me happier than when my 6-year-old son asks to come for a run with me (and my 3-year-old daughter now refers to me as ‘Running Mum’). It’s one way to ensure we all get a good night’s sleep. Organised by continent, Lonely Planet's Epic Runs of the World takes runners past giraffes, zebras and rhinos in Africa, along courses the length of Vancouver's Stanley Park Seawall in the Americas, offers spectacular views of Hong Kong from Victoria Peak in Asia and jogs along Rome's Tiber River in Europe, while inviting athletes to push themselves to the limit in Oceania's Blue Mountains Ultra.
