Running Around the World

Running is one sport where the rules don't change no matter where you are around the globe.  Terrain, conditions and attire may differ, but wherever you are, the fundamentals are the same.  Whether you're in the French Alps, Canadian Outback, or the southern lowlands of Nigeria, as long as you move swiftly enough that both feet leave the ground during each stride, you are running.

Math is known as the universal language because the principles and foundations of math are the same everywhere in the world.  Applying that same logic, one could easily conclude that running is the universal sport.  A sprint is a sprint whether you're running with the Dzerzhinets (running club) in Russia, or with RUNNEX members in the Philippines.  A marathon is 26.2 miles whether you run the Solar Eclipse Marathon in Port Douglas, Australia or the Berlin Marathon in Germany.  Whether you're in Northern Mexico running with the Tarahumara Indians or running in Croatia by the Adriatic Sea, if both feet leave the ground during each stride, you are running.

You probably didn't you realize you were part of an international club with ambassadors scattered across the globe.  You can find these ambassadors at Global Running Tours.  Global Running Tours is a worldwide organization that offers guided running tours around the world.  The latest way to learn about a city while exercising, Guided Running Tours gives runners who travel for business or pleasure a way to explore historic cities by pairing them with a trained local running guide.  Exercising while exploring--doesn't get much better than that!

Runners of the world--in Russia, Nigeria, Croatia, Germany, Philippines, China, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Australia, India, France, USA, Canada, or wherever else you may be--keep our membership strong.  We're all in this together.
