Sports & outdoor recreation; Active outdoor pursuits

An inspirational collection of the world's most beautiful scenic runs, selected by the editors of cult independent running magazine Like the Wind.

Trail running is as simple as it sounds: just put one foot in

front of the other, somewhere unpaved and outdoors. The

opportunities it presents are endless, with a wide variety

of routes that stretch over mountains, forests and deserts,

in hot climates and frigid ones, through some of the most

wild and beautiful places on Earth.

Targeted at both novice and experienced runners,

this book presents the finest trail-running locations

around the world. From the heights of the Alps to the

snowy expanses of the Arctic to the jungles of Latin

America and the outback Down Under, each destination

is brought to life by a different trail runner, showcasing

exactly what makes each location so spectacular, as well

as providing practical information to keep you moving

on the ground. Compiled by the editors of Like the Wind,

the first independent running magazine, each run offers

an unparalleled experience, while the foreword was

written by renowned American ultramarathon runner

Dean Karnazes.

As trail-running events assume the popularity and

buzz of music festivals - tens of thousands of people run in

some of the world's toughest endurance races - this book

offers a passport to exotic places and experiences, on and

off the trail, at a time when getting off-grid and alone with

yourself has never been more important.
