500 Races, Routes and Adventures by John Brewer

500 Races, Routes and Adventures contains all the information and practical advice needed to enjoy the best and most unusual running experiences around the world--all gathered in one place, a veritable bucket list for runners. Taking an exciting journey around the world, the book details the best routes, locations, and races worth running on all seven continents (including Antarctica!).

Each run is described in vivid detail and presented alongside impressive full-color photography with route/race stats. Entries are written by running
experts from around the world and categorized into type: road, trail, mountain, desert, winter, nighttime, multi-terrain, urban as well as team and relay runs in addition to novelty runs and festivals. Each entry is plotted onto continent maps as well as easy to use month-by-month race finders.

Races are indexed both by type and location, for easy navigation. Whether planning a 5k charity fun run in the local park, a first marathon, a solitary off-road mountain adventure, or an extreme round-the-world ultramarathon
challenge, this information-packed, heavily illustrated book is a one-stop source of inspiration for runners at every level.
