Are there any other runners among us here on Steamgifts?
Do you sign up for races, participate in running events?
Then recommend me your favourite race. Or the most beautiful race you did. Or something on your bucket list.
Or if you are not a runner, tell me about a great race that takes place in your hometown.

All recommendations are welcome! And as long as it is something in Euorpe, I might just do it in 2024.
One of the events I am seriously considering for next year is Kyiv Unbroken.
The only problem is, my parents are going to freak out if they find out where I want to go...

So let me have your advice. And as a token of gratitude here is an appropriately named giveaway:

And two of my favorite races:

ULTRA-TRAIL CAPE TOWN is my all time favourite, unfortunately its far from Europe.
From all European races I've finished, Madeira Island Ultra-Trail is my personal favourite! Highly recommend :)

I love to run! I've been running every day for almost 2 years and I've completed an unofficial and, to be honest, not the most successful marathon. My current goal is to run an official marathon under 4 hours. The only race in which I directly participated (I was in the volunteer team) is the Vinnytsia half-marathon, which is also held in Ukraine. Now, unfortunately, in connection with the war of aggression committed by Russia, such events have become much less, and it is not possible to go to other countries with such a goal either. I know about interesting trails that pass in the Carpathians, which intrigue me, and this is something that I will definitely try someday. I wish you success in sports and, of course, thank you very much for the giveaway.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Running a marathon under 4 hours is a great goal. I haven't done a marathon yet (a 30k trail was my lingest race so far), but my goal for a road marathon is under 5 hours. And for a trail marathon, it would be to just finish the race :))
There is a great Carpathian race in Romania as well, that's on my bucket list: https://www.transylvania100k.com/ .
All my best wishes to you and everyone in Ukraine.

Thanks. Shoggoth will chase me in my dreams now. One more reason to keep on running.

I want to go for Maratona di Roma, it's said that there are around 500 monuments on the way.
Though I'm not sure how much one would be looking while running but still, that's in my wishlist.

On any race longer than 10k, one has time to enjoy the scenery. Rome is on my list too, more so now, that you told me there are 500 monuments on the route. I didn't know this.
Don't know why I blacklisted you, but you're no longer there anymore :)

I generally run a max distance of 10k. Need to break the barrier sometime in the future.

Didn't know about the blacklist... Haha should have checked the giveaway.

Kyiv is kinda getting bombed right now, so just about anyone is gonna freak out a bit when you say you want to go out of your way to run in a warzone.

I echo this. Please give careful consideration to going to active warzone. Russia will not care who you are or where you are from and will kill anyone equally. There are much more safer ways to support Ukraine and/or work your leg muscles.

You are both right, of course. It's just an idea for now and I will seriously take verything in consideration before making a final decision.
Thanks for sharing your concern :)

I always wanted to do the Wings for Life run, in Poland it takes place in the city I just recently moved to, but it got sold out so quickly... the only option left is doing it virtually with an app...
There seem to still be slots for other cities, maybe that's something you'd want to do? -> https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/en/locations

I heard about Wings for Life. There is an official event in Romania as well, but too far from where I live. The only virtual race I did was to help break a Guinness World Record. Other than that, a virtual race doesn't give me that feeling of competition. It jut feels like training on your own.

Unfortunately, I'm neither a runner nor do I have any races from my hometown to talk about. As some of the others in this thread mentioned though, please do stay safe!!

Thanks :) I won't take a final decision before really thinking things through.

While I'm not a runner, my most listened to song this year was Run by the Foo Fighters.
