Trail Running the Secluded Routes of the Alpine Switzerland

With a seven days to dedicate and a desire to experience the less crowded parts of the European mountains in the warmer months, the alpine running festival offers a fantastic opportunity. Events vary from a short run to an gruelling 643km along some of Switzerland's most runnable Alpine paths. Opting for the century course involved disappearing into a realm of seldom-visited peaks, demanding gravel paths, and sparkling lakes.

Competing in from the Asian side to Europe in the Transcontinental Race

Perhaps the only international running race in the world that commences in one part of the world and finishes in another, the Bosphorus race is a unforgettable undertaking. The race itself allows participants to take in the city's culture, running alongside both modern and ancient landmarks. The start is particularly awe-inspiring, with countless runners streaming west across the grand Bosphorus Bridge as the strait flows below. The route then leads to Beşiktaş and onwards to the waterside avenue hugging the edge of the Bosphorus. Glancing skyward while moving, participants are met with a metropolitan vista adorned with majestic minarets glinting in the sunshine. The end point beckons, where tasty Turkish tea, meze, and fresh dates offered by encouraging volunteers await all runners.

Participants are greeted upon finishing by enthusiastic spectators, with a hearty post-race lunch typically provided.

Hiking Kilimanjaro the Responsible Way

The ascent up the great mountain via the western approach leads adventurers through lush jungles, vast heath, and barren high-altitude zones. Wildlife such as colobus monkeys, buck, and colourful avian species can often be observed. Elevation challenges everyone differently, but choosing a longer schedule greatly enhances adjustment and makes the peak possible for many trained hikers. It is important to note that some outfitters uphold fair standards. Some offer quick treks that jeopardise necessary safety and often mistreat their local staff. Undertaking careful investigation to select a responsible operator that provides fair wages, good kit, and training for its staff is highly recommended.
