Trail Running the Quieter Trails of the Alpine Switzerland

With a full week to devote and a wish to experience the less crowded regions of the Swiss Alps in the warmer months, the alpine running festival offers a fantastic opportunity. Races include a 10km to an gruelling multi-day race along some of Switzerland's most runnable mountain trails. Opting for the 62-mile route meant disappearing into a world of seldom-visited mountains, steep scree slopes, and sparkling pools.

Running from Asia to the European side in the Istanbul Marathon

Possibly the sole organised footrace in the world that begins in one part of the world and ends in another, the Istanbul Marathon is a special undertaking.

The start is especially awe-inspiring, with countless athletes flowing west across the grand suspension bridge as the water flows below. The course then leads to a district and onwards to the shoreline path following the banks of the waterway. Gazing upward while moving, you are confronted by a city skyline showcasing soaring minarets glinting in the daylight. The conclusion calls, where refreshing hot drink, appetisers, and sweet fruit served by supportive volunteers reward all participants.

Climbing Kilimanjaro the Right Way

The ascent up the great mountain via the Lemosho route takes hikers through dense woodlands, expansive highland, and stark high-altitude zones. Creatures such as monkeys, gazelle, and exotic avian species can often be seen. Elevation affects everyone differently, but choosing a longer itinerary dramatically increases adjustment and makes the top possible for fit prepared individuals. However that not all outfitters maintain fair standards. Some offer rushed treks that neglect necessary acclimatisation and may exploit their guides and porters. Doing your research to choose a reputable operator that ensures excellent compensation, proper kit, and support for its team is essential.
