amazing to see the local Icelanders come<br />
out and bang on their pots and pans to<br />
show support. After finishing the race,<br />
we were able to stay a few more days to<br />
enjoy the scenes and attractions, such as<br />
a well-deserved soaking in the Blue Lagoon.<br />
As a runner and traveler, this trip<br />
fulfilled two passions at the same time.<br />
There are different ways to go about booking<br />
your first runcation. If you want to be<br />
more cost-efficient and put in some time<br />
and research, you can build your runcation<br />
itinerary from scratch. This was the<br />
method I utilized for my first trip. Once<br />
you have the potential race or country in<br />
mind, you can start booking other essential<br />
basics such as lodging, airfare, local<br />
transportation, race fees, etc. You will be<br />
in charge of making sure everything is<br />
planned and the logistics are done properly.<br />
If you want to minimize the preparation<br />
needed and just show up and run,<br />
there are travel agencies that specialize<br />
in global marathons and races. These<br />
agencies will book everything for you,<br />
from airfare, to race fees, to lodging. This<br />
will free up your time to focus on training.<br />
Most of these global marathon travel<br />
agencies specialize in different type of<br />
races so there is something for everyone.<br />
There are some agencies that focus on<br />
large and famous races, such as the New<br />
York City Marathon or the Boston Marathon,<br />
while some focus on exotic races/<br />
locations, such as the Havana Marathon<br />
[Cuba], Great Wall Marathon [China], or<br />
the Antarctica Marathon [Antarctica].<br />
Imagine running a race in Antarctica!<br />
This could be on your bucket list too! So<br />
go out and run the world!<br />
