Plan Your Next Vacation Around Running

The cold weather has settled into Atlanta and it’s got me thinking about warmer climates. Growing up in Florida, I’m not well-suited for temperatures dipping below 60 degrees.

 At November’s ZOOMA Atlanta race, I visited a booth for Running Away which is a travel company that offers running-themed vacations. Each travel package includes hotel accommodations, meals and a running expert who leads the runs. Running Away offers three types of trips:

1) Active Running Vacations – these trips combine daily runs with sight seeing in popular locations, such as New York City, Florida and California’s Wine Country.

2) Training Trips – if you’re preparing for a marathon or half-marathon, this can be an ideal travel package. Trips are available for New York City, The Berkshires and Colorado.

3) Voluntourism – if you’re looking for a real adventure, this is a trip to consider. Travel to Gambia in West Africa and spend part of your stay in a local village working on community projects.

Running Away also offers custom-designed trips for groups. A team of travel and running experts will help you choose your destination, accommodations, running routes and food.
