21 is a great choice, but my personal favorite is number 9, at New Zealand. 25 is also in a fantastic environment, but it requires special training in order to run in such an altitude.

Venlo??? Really?? It’s an fantastic event to run because of the fantastic audience. But the course itself is quit boring

Queenstown is spectacular. For those lord of the rings fans there is a half that runs around the hobbiton movie set.

The half at Biltmore estate was my favorite. After you run right by the front door of the mansion. You take a slightly downhill serpentine path to the French Broad river. That mile and 1/4 was by far the most beautiful run I’ve ever been on.

I’ve done 2, Bermuda and NYC. Running Lisbon in October. Wonder if it’s the same course as the March race. Tromso has been on my list.

The Patagonia half was the same as the full. It is stunning. Many of these places would be an incredible trip! A few look like trail races, much different from road. Last time I was into serious trail running I slipped, didn’t fall but tore cartilage, bad enough for me to have surgery. So I would have to think about those…
