Spring is officially here, and with the changing of the seasons come some fantastic classics to kick off the running schedule. Below are some of our favorites:
Racing for refreshment at Listrac Medoc
- FRANCE: Just beyond Bordeaux, the tiny village of Listrac Medoc celebrates the new wine season with the Tournee des Cuivers, 8km and 17km races through the village and surrounding vineyards. That dark red liquid on offer at aid stations? Not Gatorade. Sunday, April 3rd.
- SCOTLAND: A troubling weather forecast has this run is on the ropes, but runners who enter an event called The Great Glen Death March rarely expect a walk in the sun. Twenty-four hours, 100 km, a traverse of Scotland from west to east on one of its more storied trails. Earn your whiskey the old-fashioned way on April 3rd.
- NETHERLANDS: No hills on this course! The second and third-fastest marathons ever were run in Rotterdam, and in the 30th Fortis Rotterdam Marathon you too can try to add your name to history. Good luck! We will cheer you from the sidelines with a Stella in hand. Marathon, 10K. Sunday, April 11.
Celebrating setting records at the Rotterdam Marathon
- IRELAND: The Great Ireland Run takes place on Sunday, April 18. 10K.Bring the whole family to enjoy the festivities at Phoenix Park - there's also a 2.5k fun run for the kids.
- UK: Get out of the city and check out the Lake District trails in the Hawkshead Trail Race. Runners World readers voted this one of the top-10 runs you can do on the Island. Saturday, April 24. 15K.
- GERMANY: We've had enough hamburger and frankfurter jokes, so save your breath for the Mobel Kraft Hamburg Marathon. An awesome spring marathon in this incredible running city. Saturday, April 25th.
