Running Weekends in the Wild

Healthy holidays and stay-cations are in vogue. No surprise given the Covid-19 Pandemic. I think it's safe to say we are all looking to run away for a little rest, relaxation and socially distanced activity.

Social distancing is the talk of the town and running holidays have really caught our eye at The 24hr Tourist Magazine. Small group sizes and wide open spaces leaves even the more cautious traveller feeling secure.

From park runner to marathon distance there really is something for everybody in this holiday category. Most trip organisers provide a group guide too so you can relax while they take the navigation reins and show you the trails.
