The Great Escapes

With contributions from Christiane and Stephan Kappes, Karla Bruning and Kerry Hale
Canadian runners dread when winter approaches. We have your anecdote: four incredible destinations that will satisfy every type of runner. We breakdown the best Disney events (p. TK), explore what it’s like to take a running-themed cruise (p. TK), follow a multi-day stage race in the Himalayan hermit kingdom of Bhutan (p. TK) and run what may be the most breathtaking race that Hawaii has to offer (p. TK). It’s time for a running escape.
