We are explorers, wanderers, travelers, nomads. We strive to project the authenticity of places we visit through honest words and visuals. Enjoy!
I only post run routes that we have actually tried and enjoyed. If a route is here, it is safe and repeatable.
If you are heading to western Kenya for high altitude training, you might want to acclimatize in Nairobi first. At 5,800 feet, it’s a bit higher than Boulder, Colorado…
Like other cities in China, Guilin has broad sidewalks and bike lanes. This particular 4 mile out-and-back course includes four laps around the Olympic Stadium complex (inspiring!)
This scenic loop course in Kunming, China, runs around the perimeter of Green Lake city park. There are no road crossings, so it’s a great place for interval laps.
This 6.5 mile course mainly follows broad sidewalks, with about one mile on a dirt path. Beautiful, off the beaten path trail leads to the lakefront.
This 5.5 mile course is a mix of dirt road and pavement, almost entirely past rice paddies and karst mountains. Pancake flat. The loop extends from Bich Dong temple to Thai Vi temple through Tam Coc.
An early morning 10k run along the seashore followed by a dip in the cool saltwater is the perfect way to start the day in Con Dao, Vietnam
This 5 mile-ish route in Hoi An Vietnam assumes that you will begin and end your run before 10:00 a.m. to avoid the tourist mob.
Hue is a perfect city for running! This scenic 10 kilometer route loops around the Perfume River, passing the Imperial Citadel, with a round-trip extension onto Kim Long avenue to the Thien Mu Pagoda and back.
You do not really need a map to run this course, if you find yourself in the remote farming commune of Viet Hai on Cat Ba Island, Vietnam. But check out these course photos!
Running in Hanoi presents a myriad of challenges, from chickens to scooters to pollution. After attempting a few different courses, this route on the banks of West Lake (Tay Ho) proved to be safe(r) and quite enjoyable.
