RUNNERS WORLD TRAVELOGUE SLIDE SHOW

My personal Santa Barbara run. Taken by PKSenagore January 19, 2013. All rights reserved.

WANT TO CLICK THROUGH 78 SLIDES OF SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON EARTH TO RUN? Runnersworld.com assembled images of running locations it has featured each month over the years in its magazine.  Generally, if a place has beautiful scenery for a run, it can most certainly also be walked or hiked and maybe biked.  Earned Runs has compiled a list, but the REAL VALUE in the article is in the gorgeous pictures and the descriptions of each place, plus links to the articles.
 
You might be surprised by the specific places captured in the images: remember these are places runners submitted to the magazine as their personal favorites.
