Active Running Vacations: These amazing trips are planned with the individual runner in mind, even though you are part of a group. Want to run three miles one morning and ten the next? That’s great! This trip is about you. Your Running Expert at the beginning of each day will take you through your options in terms of distance.  Throughout the running routes, your Hosts and Running Experts, will lay out the mile markers, be with you on foot, by bike, or in our support vehicles.  Typically on these trips we run in the mornings, sightsee and relax in the afternoons and stretch/do a cool down run at night.

Training Trips: Training for a marathon, ½ marathon, 10K, 5K or just want to learn a few things along the way? Then a training trip is for you. At Running Away we know that training is a very personal thing. It’s our job to enhance your abilities, while allowing you to experience the joys of seeing a new part of the world. Our Running Experts want to share their knowledge with you and provide you with an environment that is best suited for your own personal training program. During these journeys, there will be the option of attending additional clinics on running form, nutrition, and stretching. An individual analysis and custom training program will be prepared for you upon departure.

Voluntourism: By nature most runners are charitable people.  At Running Away, we have partnered up with certain charities around the world to offer Journey's which combine our Active Running Vacation's with volunteering.  These Journey's offer a view into life in distant lands, combined with running in some of the most unique places in the world.

Despite being different, all of our journeys offer many of the same things. Great Food, Great Lodging, Great Hosts, and Great Running Experts are all of paramount importance at Running Away. We know that as a runner you can’t run all day, and will provide as many options as you need to make your active travel journey a success.
