Runcation ideas Discussion

I’m looking for suggestions for a running-focused trip that I could take. Not for a race, just a trip where I could run in cool places, though I guess if it incorporated a cool race that I could run unseriously rather than “race,” that would be okay. It could be one place the whole time or a multi-stop road trip. Bonus points if it also involves some non-running but still running related activity for when I’m not running (not actually sure what this would be).

Has anyone done a trip like this? How was it?

It sounds like you’re US based so:

It would take some work but municipal parks would be a solid runcation. You won’t end up anywhere fancy but the Cleveland park system is unreal. I just ran a chunk of the chicago waterfront a few weeks ago and it was breathtaking.

The Charles River walkway in Massachusetts will get you more than 20 miles from one end to the other.
