Tour Plan
Day 1
London to Paris
London
Welcome to London! Join forces here & get to know the running crew you’re about to take on Europe with. Then, we'll hit the ground running by jumping on the coach & making tracks for two weeks of adventure.
Dover
Shortly before we find our ferry for France, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover.
Calais
Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We’ll travel via World War I battlefields in the Valley of the Somme, before reaching... Paris!
Paris
Pop the champagne, dial up the romance, & pass the escargot - we're in Paris, baby! Don't waste a second unpacking, we're going to hit the streets and see how this city comes alive by night.
Day 2
Paris
Paris
Morning, runners! We’ll kick off our first run on the trip with a metro ride to Jardin de Luxembourg, then sprint along the Seine, past Paris’ iconic spots (wave to Notre Dame…). And end right at the Eiffel Tower! Then it’s back to the hostel for a well-deserved brekkie & a full day of exploration. Tonight, you can choose to get together with the crew for a delicious French-style dinner followed by a Cabaret show.
Day 3
Paris to Beaujolais Wine Region via Fontainebleau
Paris
Grab breakfast & say goodbye to Paris. We’ve got a full day of scenic runs & Château vibes ahead of us.

With its medieval stature and grand surrounding ponds, Château Fontainebleau will take your breath away. We'll amble around the gardens then recommence our scenic journey to Beaujolais.
Beaujolais Wine Region
And here you are, at our very own Château de Cruix! Who's breathless? All of us. A good run through France’s prettiest wine region - passing by vineyards will defo take your breath away. Take a quick shower after your run and treat yourself to some wine with a hearty dinner.
Day 4
Beaujolais Wine Region to French Riviera
Beaujolais Wine Region
Yes, yes, you wish you could stay here forever. But unfortunately the show must go on. And so should we. So enjoy one last French countryside run before hitting the road once again.
French Riviera
Missing an opportunity to see this glorious part of the world up close and personal would be criminal. Speaking of things you shouldn't miss, this region is famous for lavender honey, aioli & rosé wine; all 3 in one meal should be your mission.
Day 5
French Riviera (Including Monaco City)
French Riviera
Another day, another morning run. This time - along the Promenade des Anglais! After breakfast, you have some free time to explore even more coastal scenery and chill with the ocean breeze. Then we’ll drive along the Côte d'Azur towards Monaco.
Monaco City
A night in glamorous Monaco should complete your day slash life. Don a fancy necklace and pop a plum in your mouth - we're about to embark on the lifestyle of the rich and the famous.
French Riviera
After a night on the blackjack table it's back to the coast and to bed, the next part of the adventure starts tomorrow.
Day 6
French Riviera to Florence via Pisa

After one last run in France, we’re ready for new ground. Italy, perhaps?

Florence
The dome of Duomo Cathedral sits above the city making certain we know we have arrived in Florence. Tonight you can choose to begin your Tuscan love affair at a Free Time Add-On dinner - think olives, pastas, focaccia, meats & wine.

Oh, and treat yourself to some gelato, will ya? You’ve earned it.
Day 9
Rome to Venice
Rome
We may be hitting the road again, but we're not done with Italy just yet. We have one more city to lust over...
Venice
Venice is yours for this glorious Italian afternoon. We'll be jumping aboard our own private boat and hitting the canals en route to the historical heart of the city. A gondola ride is up for grabs, or you can always choose to get lost on your own and see where the maze takes you.
Day 10
Venice to Munich via Tyrol

Wind through the Austrian Alps to lively Munich.
