500 races in 101 countries are brought to you today by HarperCollins in World’s Ultimate Running Races.
The book introduces you to races on roads, mountains and tracks as well as in buildings and on the snow. There are runs that you can do in fancy dress or naked!
It tells you about races that are big and small, that take place on small islands and huge land masses, in the heat or cold and opportunities to run in the presence of Olympic runners, celebs or royalty! The spectrum of running modes and surfaces are as wide as the book is big. The images are truly inspirational with impressive backdrops that will have you planning your holidays to incorporate your race plan.
My round the world ticket would be taking me to The Hawaii Marathon, a snow race through the ice caps, the Ekiden Relay in Japan and the Vertical Kilometere in Spain.
There are plenty of UKA licensed races in there too that will count towards your handicap score including the Adidas Women's Challenge, the Armagh Road Races, parkruns, Great Runs, Rhayader 'Round the Lakes' to name but a few.
This will make a great Christmas present for someone!
The guide is laid out with concise simplicity. It starts in January and finishes in December. For each race there is information on surface, climatic conditions, evolving course records and more.
