Two months until the Chicago Marathon. Under three months until New York. Running fever is nearly upon us. To celebrate, we’re sharing The Globetrotting Guidebook, our deep digest of some of the most memorable runs on the planet.
We asked a powerhouse panel of runners — from brand-sponsored pros, to former Olympians, to trailblazing ultrarunners, to Instagram influencers, to the goddamn race director of the Boston Marathon — to reach back into their mental (or Strava) library of runs and share their favorite route they've ever logged miles on.
It should come as little surprise that some of the best runners alive are also among the most well-traveled people around. Their answers span the globe and comprise a dozen ecosystems and climate zones, climbing from sea level (Sydney, Australia) to well, well above it (St. Moritz, Switzerland).
Find the full compendium here, including specialized Strava embeds and original photography supplied by our speedy nominators. It's a digital coffee table book, if you will, good for a deep dive right now, or your Bookmarks bar for forever. - Tanner Garrity
