Germany - 50k in two days along the Berlin Wall trail
Welcome to my blog. I hope you get some inspiration to run somewhere new from my log of Ultra Running Destinations. These are all places I’ve visited, so can personally recommend them for an ultra adventure. Hope you have a nice stay!
Sweden - The course for the Lidingöloppet 30k trail race is open year round, and just a 15 minute taxi from the center of Stockholm
France - 50k of excellent forest trails through the southwest of Paris, France
Finland - 100k of bicycle riding from downtown Helsinki to the Nuuksio National Park
Germany - 13 mile (21k) point-to-point hike from one end of the Königssee Lake to the other where you take the electric boat back to the start.
Washington - Experience 50k of forested and coastal single track in the pacific northwest
Denmark - 50k on the Island of Møn including the soaring white chalk cliffs of Møns Klint
Florida - Hot, humid and sandy single track through the Point Washington State Forest on Florida’s gulf coast.
Bulgaria - Over 70k of running in two days across the Rila Mountains along an old dam maintenance road
Greece - The Athens Authentic Marathon, following the route run by Pheidippides
Belgium - Over a marathon trail running through the Sonian Forest just south of Brussels, Belgium
Austria and Slovenia - Over 70k of running from Schwanberg, Austria to Maribor, Slovenia. The run is made up of beautiful trails crossing farms, forests, and wineries with plenty of rolling hills adding up to nearly 6000 feet (2000m) of elevation gain.
Maryland - Starting point for the 180 mile (280k) Great Allegheny Passage trail
Hungary - I explored almost 27 miles / 45k of trails just a 40 minute drive from the Budapest, Hungary airport in the area of the Danube-Ipoly National Park. This is an excellent region for trail running just northwest of Budapest with many miles of forest trails. On my run I scaled mountains with commanding views of the city and surrounding countryside. In addition, there are interesting rock formations, hidden granite houses and medieval castles.
California - 15 mile (25k) run in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area along a portion of the Backbone Trail. The Backbone Trail is 67 miles (109k) long. Despite being so near to the big city of Los Angeles, this trail has excellent single track through rugged and remote country.
Poland - Excellent trails in the less well known Beskid Mountain Range of Southern Poland on the Main Beskid Trail.
Hawaii - Oahu - Two half-marathon distance runs on the island of Oahu. One to Tantalus Peak and the other to the Diamond Hill Crater.
Icleand - 50k run on the Fimmvörðuháls Trail from Skógar to Thórsmörk (out-and-back)
