Trail Running the Secluded Routes of the Swiss Alps
For those with a seven days to devote and a wish to explore the less crowded areas of the Swiss Alps in the warmer months, the mountain race series is a perfect choice. Races range from a sprint to an extraordinary multi-day race along some of Switzerland's most runnable Alpine paths. Selecting the 62-mile route involved immersing oneself in a realm of seldom-visited peaks, challenging gravel paths, and vivid lakes.

Running from Asia to Europe in the Bosphorus Run
Possibly the sole major footrace in the world that starts in one part of the world and concludes in another, the Bosphorus race is a unforgettable undertaking. The course itself enables participants to experience the metropolis's vibe, passing by both new and ancient landmarks. The beginning is particularly awe-inspiring, with a sea of runners moving west across the imposing 15 July Martyrs Bridge as the water splashes below. The path then heads towards a district and onwards to the shoreline path skirting the shores of the strait. Looking up while jogging, you are greeted by a urban panorama featuring soaring minarets glistening in the sunlight. The finish line calls, where delicious Turkish tea, appetisers, and ripe fruit served by cheering volunteers reward all finishers.
Completing a Swim in the Famous Swimmer's Footsteps, the Gulf of Poets
The deeply historic swim is held annually in the Italian bay. The Coppa Byron celebrates the famous swimming achievement of the Romantic poet when he was staying with his friend Shelley in the past. The 8km journey from Portovenere to another coastal town usually requires 2-3 hours and is accompanied by safety boats. Swimmers are cheered upon reaching shore by supportive well-wishers, with a substantial local feast often available.
Trekking Kilimanjaro the Responsible Way
The ascent up Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route takes adventurers through lush woodlands, vast moorland, and barren high-altitude zones. Wildlife such as primates, gazelle, and colourful avian species can often be observed. Altitude impacts everyone differently, but selecting a more gradual schedule dramatically increases acclimatisation and makes the peak attainable for most prepared hikers. Be aware that many tour operators uphold ethical practices. Some offer rushed itineraries that neglect adequate well-being and may exploit their support crew. Conducting thorough due diligence to find a reputable outfitter that ensures excellent compensation, good gear, and support for its crew is essential.
