Hey guys!
You knew I couldn’t fly all the way to a tropical island and not enjoy at least one run on the beach.
I’ve been able to sneak in a few early runs before the resort really wakes up and there is nothing better than having the beach all to yourself in the early morning sunshine. There’s something so peaceful and calming about running on the beach when it’s just you, the sand, and the waves.
The runs have also given me a chance to test out the new Moving Comfort Sprint Tech Skort, the company sent me to test out from their new spring collection.
The running skort is just plain fun. I love the purple skirt layered on top and the unexpected pattern of the compression boy shorts hidden underneath. The skort is extremely comfortable with a very forgiving wide waistband on top and the grippy bottom that prevents the boy shorts from riding up. There’s also a hidden pocket in the back of the waistband for an ipod, gu, or hotel keycard, and an infinity drawcord that cinches at sides for a ruched look.
Don’t worry – I share. 
I have one Moving Comfort Sprint Tech Skort (a $54 value) to give away to one lucky Meals and Miles reader.
To enter all you need to do is leave a comment below with your favorite vacation run. Were you on a beach? Somewhere in Europe? On a really snazzy treadmill in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship? Do tell!
You have until Tuesday evening at 11:59pm to enter. The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.
Good luck!

So far is has been a run on a treadmill on a cruise ship. Seeing nothing but beautiful water in front of you makes running on a treadmill pretty awesome
My favorite vacation run was this past summer, I had not been on a vacation for a few years so I was so excited to get a run on the beach. It was the first morning there and I ran 3 miles on the beach at 6:30 in the morning. I loved it because it was great to just be me, the sand and the waves. There actually was quite a bit of other runners and it put a smile on my face to see that there are other dedicated runners out there early in the morning.
My favorite vacation run is when we go up north in Michigan. I love running out onto the pier on Lake Huron. It is so beautiful and peaceful. I feel all my worries evaporate!
My favorite is probably along Rosemary/Seacrest Beaches in the panhandle of Florida. I heard songs on my iPod yesterday (windchill in the teens) that took me back to the back!
Well it wasn’t a vacation, but I did have a few incredibly beautiful runs along the beach in the OC (don’t call it that) on a work trip. Stunning sunrises!

Destin, Florida! Loved running on the beach there!
My favorite vacation run was definitely when I went to Hawaii and was running along Waikiki beach! The water and surroundings there are just beautiful!
Running from the Dutch side of Sint Maarten to the French side and back. It was beautiful and during the last quarter mile there was a quick sunny rain shower.
I do not have an amazing vacation run story but I did have an amazing run this past weekend. I ran through DC and it was just awesome.

I love running around our cabin up north along the shores of the lake!
I don’t run, however I love to try new fitness classes wherever I go. My favorite was a Zumba class I took in DC. I’m an instructor in the Philadelphia area, so it’s always fun to see other instructors in new locations.
i walked a 5K on a cruise ship one time!

My favorite vacation run was in the streets of a residential area of the Bahamas…with my husband on our honeymoon. What a great way to see a new place!

my favorite vacation runs are at our annual family vacation to the jersey shore, i take my daughter (and this year my son too!) in the jogging stroller and run on the beach before everyone wakes up and then we look for shells near the water. i look forward to it all year long.
In the last few years I’ve coordinated my vacation time around races so my favorite vacation run was a race this past year. I ran Bolder Boulder, which 150% lives up to its reputation as the best 10k. There were parties all along the course where spectators offered cotton candy, beer and other goodies, while one house even had a slip and slide. It also is pretty fun to say I ran a 10k a mile above sea level
I have yet to actually get to run on a vacation
. I was supposed to be able to run in January in Arizona but I’m having IT band surgery this week so it looks like I”ll have to wait a few weeks…. boo!
My favorite place to run is the state park near my hometown when i am visiting my parents. its beautiful!
Running on a beach in Maui equals perfection. Absolutely loved it!
I was a college athlete so might be strange to some but i LOVED taking runs on/around all the campuses that we visited. The scenery, all the unique buildings and just different atmospheres were so fun to be apart of!!
My favorite vacation run was at the grand canyon. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful and the mix of adrenaline and pure awe was beyond words!
My favorite vacation run was just a couple weeks ago. I went to Iowa to meet up with some friends and we ran around the Iowa State campus. While it wasn’t anything super crazy or extra pretty, it was just fun having friends to run with!

I ran before my wedding in Positano, Italy. You can’t beat the gorgeous mountain and ocean views on the Amalfi Coast!
I am really bad at working out while on vacation. I did enjoy a nice run on the shores of Lake Erie last summer that wore me out.
Vegas….it was early morning, I felt like I owned the strip…the only people out were a few hotel/restaurant workers and other runners. It was my favorite part of the vacation.

I just recently ran while vacationing on the Canary Islands. After a day of studying the island surrounded by other people, I needed the quiet time. I always try to do that while on vacation.

My best run on a vacation was while visitng my sister in MA. She lived a couple blocks from the beach so I ran down there and along the shore for 3 miles and back. There was a really nice walking path that paralleled the beach which made for a perfect running surface (running in sand is not my favorite thing!)
My favorite vacation run was in Cambridge, MA along the Charles River. It was the week before my very first 10K and it was a great change of scenery seeing the sparkling water and all the crew teams.
Running on a treadmill on a cruise ship was fun, although it made me a little woozy!
My favorite vacation run was definitely on the beach in Puerto Rico!
Early morning run in Crystal city near D.C… got to watch airplanes landing in purple sky
My favorite vacation run was on Chicago’s lakeside trail while I was there for a friend’s wedding. Nothing better than a nice urban run next to the beautiful lake. Who knew Chicago could feel like a sea-side town? Loved every mile!
My favorite vacation run is still one I took with my father about 20 years ago. I was in high school and frustrated spending my weekends at my brothers endless soccer tournaments. We were staying at a hotel that wasn’t in too busy of an area so my dad said lets go for a run.
We ran through this neighborhood that all of the sudden became questionable. There were lots of dogs barking at us and we started running faster. There was this one dog running along his fence barking and then all of the sudden the fence disappeared and he was still running along side me barking. So we ran faster! The dog eventually stopped wherever he thought his yard ended.
We made it back to the hotel pretty high on adrenaline and laughing. So, it wasn’t a pretty or relaxing vacation run, but it is one we will always remember. And because I do remember that crazy run, I remember that my dad did try to take time out for me even when my teenaged self didn’t realize it.
My favorite vacation run is on the beach at Jekyll Island in the early morning. It is so peaceful and serene.
I haven’t ran on vacation yet (just started running about 2 years ago). I brought all my running gear to Hong Kong but it rained every single day I was there!
In South Africa!! I was told that it wasn’t safe enough for me to run in the community where I lived during my internship, but one day I found this small gym tucked away in a shopping center. They let me use a treadmill for free, and let me tell you–that run was like a little slice of heaven!

around the mansions of DC on a beautiful spring day
My fave vacation run was along the Potomac in DC. I saw a beaver!
My favorite runs have been in Charlotte. I love how flat it is compared to where I live!
my favorite vacation run was around the mountains in Arizona!
My favorite run has been on the Hood River in Oregon. beautiful! There was a jogging path directly behind our hotel and I ran past a marina full of sailboats!
That skirt is super cute!
My favorite vacation run was on the beach in Costa Rica (on my honeymoon!) It was early and the sun was just rising. Everything was quiet and peaceful until I heard the extremely loud, deep sound of the howler monkeys in the trees! It scared me to death until I realized what it was!

My favorite “vacation” run was on a work trip to Columbia, SC two winters ago. Living in NY running outside from December to March pretty much sucks so this trip I’m February was amazing. It was in the low 60s so I was thrilled to wear shorts. I found a waterfront path to run down. Perfection.
My favorite vacation run was in a blizzard in Montana! It was first for me and obviously memorable!
My all time favorite run on vacation is when we go to WDW! I love running at the resort with the other out of town runners! The Riverside as a great path that I run and it is so peaceful by the river and then running past all the guests going to breakfast! Love this run!
I didn’t quite like running on a cruise ship, the sea was getting to me
However, one of my favorite places to run is in the Adirondacks when I get to go to my granparents camp! Always fun to spot animals and wild berries 
so far my favorite vacation run has been at Disney World! I got up early one morning and ran around our hotel grounds, then over to the magic kingdom then back to my hotel. It was amazing! No one was around! Would love to win this skirt!
I would have to say that my favorite vacay run would be when I ran the Disney Princess Half in 2010! We took our kids to Disney World to celebrate me finishing breast cancer treatment and to run my first half post-treatment. It was awesome for so many reasons!

my favorite vacation runs are “We run Prague,” end of summer

Vacation runs are the best! I haven’t done them anywhere too exciting: Phoenix, Minneapolis and Seattle this year.
But when you’re not rushing to get it in before work and all of the other things in a normal day, it is so much more enjoyable.
Cute skirt!! Thanks for the chance of winning one.
My fav vaca run was on a cruise ship treadmill. Normally I hate treadmills, but running with nothing but water ahead was surprisingly calming and beautiful! Can’t wait to repeat that one on my honeymoon cruise coming up in 2 short months!
So cute! Love the purple pattern.
Running along the Mediterranean while studying abroad in Spain. Feeling that warm sunshine & the splash of the ocean water in another country was the best feeling!

The best run I have ever done in my life was last March. I had (finally) almost completed the Couch to 5K plan, and was tackling a 25 minute run. This run happened to fall smack dab in the middle of a vacation to Israel – the first time seeing my boyfriend in 3 months (he was away 5 months total). He actually scouted for locations before I left, and my first day there, he was so excited to tell me what he found: Haas Promenade. Now, that name means nothing to most people so I will let a picture speak for itself: http://www.math.toronto.edu/drorbn/Gallery/Jerusalem/ViewFromPromenade_2048.jpg . The view was the old city of Jerusalem. It was a difficult run (very hilly), and different levels which necessisitated going up and down small flights of stairs, but I did it…and more. I actually completed my first 30 minute run that day!

My favorite vacation run so far was a run in south GA on dirt roads & country trails & around a lake… Gorgeous! Congrats on your honeymoon!
My favorite run is along Bayshore Blvd in tampa! I took it for granted when I lived there
My favorite vacation run was this past summer, vacationing on Emerald Isle, NC. It was the day after I got engaged on the beach, and I went for a run. I was on top of the world, and I really enjoyed watching my new ring sparkle in the sun as I ran!!

Running along the beach in OBX with my dog, the sand, and the ocean
Oh, this is good…..My favorite run while away from home was last MAY. While at the cabin up north I ran around my “hometown” lake…I had biked it many more times than I could every count but NEVER run around it…10 miles total. I did it and felt sooooo great…like I had almost conquered world hunger.
HA!
My grandmother’s condo is on Singer Island in Florida; I absolutely love going out for early morning runs along the water. As someone who was born and raised near the ocean (in RI) and then moved far, far away from it, getting back to the water makes me happy!
I haven’t had too many vacation runs. But love running around my hometown whenever I visit my parents, I love to see whats the same and whats changed over the years. I’ll be on a cruise ship in 2 weeks and do plan to run once or twice following my marathon training plan.
I was staying at a beach front resort with my afmily in Hawaii, and every morning I ran up and down the sidewalk at the top of the beach, and watched the sun come up. It was pretty gorgeous.
Favorite “away” run is probably Ko Olina along the water when I was working at Aulani in Hawaii. But that was a business trip run… I guess my favorite vacation run is along the Cape Cod canal. I’ve done many long runs up there as my summer vacations tend to coincide with long runs on my marathon training schedules.
My all-time favorite run was during a conference in DC. I ran through the monuments & along the reflecting pond. I can’t wait to return to DC so I can run this again someday!
I ran through Sydney, Australia – saw stunning views of Sydney Harbor and made my way past the Opera House – it was gorgeous!
My favorite run was years ago on a cruise ship. The treadmills where over the ocean, with an amazing view.
I enjoyed a run on my honeymoon on the cruise ship’s walking/running path around the boat! Fun to have 360 degrees of sun and ocean!
My favorite vacation run was along the Upper West Side Highway in Manhattan last spring when I was training for my first half marathon. It was my longest run to date, and I was super nervous, but the scenery and the river kept me going the whole time! Spotting the actor who played John Locke on Lost was also a bonus
My favorite vacation run? The Disney 1/2 Marathon this past Saturday – it was my first and I am now addicted! They put on a great race!!
On the beach of Kauai! It was on my honeymoon and I loved getting up early to run before the rest of the island was awake.
Running around Key West by far has been my favorite vacation run ever!
I haven’t been on a real vacation in about six years. But I went to the Florida Keys and just ran around the development we were staying in. It was so nice because the route I took was all along the water and it was just beautiful! That is back when I first started enjoying running.

My favorite place to run on vacation is Siesta Key. The beach is beautiful and I agree, it is so relaxing to get up early and get a run in before the world wakes up.
Love the skirt!
Angie recently posted..Pregnancy and Strength Training
It may not be exactly a vacation run, but hands down my fave away from home run is running by my cabin. It is quiet, no one is around, I can run without fear in only a sports bra and the scenery is amazing.
I had a great run in Aruba! It was so relaxing and a nice way to start the day!
My favorite vacation run was in Maui, right along the ocean front. My husband and I daydream about it all the time… it was so fun to go dip in the water at the end of our run.
i absolutely love to run when i’m on vacation. most recently I ran the cooper river bridge in Charleston, SC and it was breathtaking, but nothing beats running on the beach with the Aruban sunrise
My favorite vacation run was at Disney, around our resort before anyone was really awake
Nice and peaceful!
I ran 6 miles in the city of Berlin, Germany. Even though it was cold and cloudy, it was a great way to explore the city!
My favorite place that I have run on vacation is the outer banks of NC!
The rest of the family was relaxation at the outer banks, and I laced up my shoes and decided to run into town. I’m normally only at the beach but figured I would switch it up for once. It was awesome running by the little shops and restaurants I never paid attention to!
As much as I love a good beach run, trail running in the mountains near Asheville, NC is my favorite. So beautiful, so tough, and so quiet. Love it.
My favorite vacation running spot is Hilton Head, SC. My parents live there, and I usually get in a great run around their plantation when I visit. Love it!
Brittney recently posted..Our Nursery
My favorite place? That’s a tough one (lots of good ones to choose from). I’d say Vermont – beautiful mountain scape & the freshest smelling air!
My favorite vacation run is on the beach to a nearby lighthouse!
My favorite vacation run spot is Hawaii, hands down! There was a 3 mile paved path right beside the ocean where the views were incredible – and from there you could connect into a fancy schmansy neighborhood with the most incredible mansions.
Running the carriage trails in Acadia National Park – there is nothing better!
Gotta say, favorite run would be at Disney World. It was technically a vacation to do the half last year, but running through the castle – too cool!
I recently ran on the beach and had to stop and catch my breath a few time just from the views! Love the shorts under the skirt!

I had two epic runs last year on vacation.
1.) Punta Cana Dominican Republic. I woke up early and ran on the trail next to the beach at our resort as the sun came up. The weather was perfect, no one was around and the sun rise was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
2.) Hyde Park in London England. It was obviously cooler, and a bit misty but again no one was around except a few other runners, and some dog walkers. I ran through Hyde Park and right by Kensington Palace in the early morning. With all the beautiful architecture it was one of my favorite runs.

My favorite vacation run, thus far, has either been Cocoa Beach or Phoenix in the middle of winter (I’m from Ohio). I’m guessing this summer’s Colorado runs will end up trumping that though.

Just went running this morning on a beach in St. Maarten- beautiful!
I was in Atlanta for a wedding, got up pre dawn and ran thru the streets of atl while the sun rose – great urban run!
My fav vaca run was at Disney around the Boardwalk area.
I ran once while camping….beautiful scenery, lots of wild life then we came across some animal tracks. Bear..hog..deer….needless to say, I did not run very far before turning back.
We are living in Germany right now, so every trip we take to a new city/country I try to get out for a couple miles in the morning. Each new place is my new favorite!
My favorite is when the hotel treadmills each have their own TV so you can watch whatever you want and are able to hear it! Small perk, but I just love it!
I’ve never tried a running skort before but it looks so cute on you! Cute clothes make working out that much more fun
My favorite vacation run was when we were on a Disney cruise to the Bahamas and we ran a 5K on their private island. So much fun!
My favorite vacation run was with the girls on a girls weekend. We ran the trails around the cabin we were staying in.
My favorite vacation run was at an open air gym in the forest in Mexico. It was quite hot but you could hear tropical birds singing the entire time. That’s better than an iPod any day

Best place I ever ran was on vacation with my boyfriend in the Poconos. Talk about hills (or mountains?)! It was the hardest 40 minutes ever but the scenery was great and I felt such a sense of accomplishment afterwards that I was on a high the rest of the day.

My favorite vacation run wasn’t really a vacation because I was there for work, but downtown San Diego and out along the ocean. With the exception of being heckled by some crazy scary people (or maybe because of it??), it was AMAZE BALLS.

My favorite vacation run was in San Francisco. The Golden Gate is stunning in the sunrise.
My favorite vacation run was supposed to be on the upper deck of my cruise ship (my first cruise ever) but it turns out it’s pretty windy out there, so I had to take my skirt-clad bottom back to my room after only a few laps. (The view was spectacular, though).
So instead I’ll just go with an early morning Virginia Beach boardwalk run in April – there were only a few people on the beach, it was finally warm, and I ran the entire boardwalk. It was my first time ever in Virginia Beach, so of course I had to stop and take a picture at the Neptune statue. I live in a beach town and in the summertime I am so busy I rarely drive to the boardwalk to run, but this particular run was just awesome, and I loved feeling like a tourist at the beach for once!

I guess I need to take a vacation to have a good vacation run. However, I did get in some good runs while on a work trip recently. The hotel gym was pretty bad and humid inside but I did it and felt great while being out of town!
VA beach
My favorite run was this past summer in Sydney, Australia. I had to get up early for it and we caught the most amazing sunrise over the harbor. I would get up early every day for that view!
Run along the beach in Cape Cod – in the dead of winter – quiet and beautiful
My favorite vacation run was in Hawaii. I had the chance to run on Hickam AFB (I was teaching a class there) and while I was running, the Thunderbirds flew in for the air show that weekend. The Honolulu airport shut down air traffic for 20 mins and let them practice formations, it was totally impromptu and AMAZING. I will never forget that run!
My favorite vacation run was running on a beach in Florida-sand is hard work!
My favorite place for running, so far was indeed on a beach in Florida. and its so peaceful all to yourself!

This past October I went to Vancouver for work and ran along the seawall overlooking the water and mountains in the distance. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and I lucked out with sunny and warm weather for that time of year!
Colleen L recently posted..Footprints: Monday Morning Recap
I guess my fav vacation run was on a cruise, I did a few workouts on the treadmills but the gym was so hot I ventured outside one day. I ran on the teeny tiny outside track, something like 20+ laps a mile, while we were at sea. Turning into the wind made me almost lose my hat on every lap, but running the same direction we were travelling made for some awesome looking times on my Garmin.
My favorite vacation run was definitely when I was in San Francisco. Living in flat-as-a-pancake Ohio did not prepare my legs for the hills of San Fran and I managed to squeeze in a run every day I was there, oh it hurt so good!
I love running on the beach when I go home. My parents live about 15 minutes away from the coast. It’s just so relaxing.
Allison recently posted..Clean Eating, Week 2
I usually favor sightseeing walks instead of early morning workouts while I’m on vacation, though I did get a few good runs on the treadmill while I was in Baltimore for work – really nice hotel gym! Oh and I did a nice run in the harbor one day too. Beautiful!
My favorite vacation run was along the Adriatic coast in Italy last year.
A treadmill in Cancun. It was too humid to run inside! Or last Christmas when I ran around a lake in Tempe with my sister!

I grew up in Clearwater, FL so it isn’t really a “vacation” spot for me but I absolutely love running anywhere near the water….Clearwater beach, Dunedin causeway to honeymoon island, FL beaches on the west coast too. Just before sunset is my favorite time to run on the beach.
Happy Honeymoon to you guys! Looks beautiful where you are! And what a fun skort!
My favorite vacation run was up in New Hampshire this past Memorial Day Weekend, along a lake with mountain views in perfect early morning weather, it was fantastic!

As a new runner, my only vacation run has been in Cayucous, CA…a sleeply little dog-friendly beach town. It is so fun to run somewhere besides my familiar streets around my home.
My favorite vacation run was on the sandy beaches of Florida! It was right after I started running and it felt so good to be moving on vacation especially with a beautiful sunrise over the ocean as my background.

My favorite vacation run was at a resort in Colorado last year, where the treadmills faced the cutest ski town and mountains.
My favorite run was around the streets of Aix en Provence. France is wonderful.
The first time I ever went anywhere tropical was to Puerto Vallarta a few years ago and didn’t plan on working out the entire time, but being the only early bird of the group, I ended up doing a few morning runs on the beach. It felt like I was in paradise!
Haha, the treadmill on cruise ships makes me nauseous watching the waves…BUT I think my favorite vacation run was NIKE Women’s marathon in California. I try to plan my vacations around races and I’ve never seen the pacific. Just as I came around the bend of a very tiring incline, the Pacific was in front of me and was so beautiful. I stopped and took pictures (though they didn’t come out great). I’ve done a lot of races in different states, but this is still my favorite to date!
I went on an amazing run through Florence on our honeymoon. I loved everything about it!
I’m a homebody, which works out well with my tight budget. I did have a beautiful run in Charleston, SC while I was on a work trip. My coworker and I ran on the waterfront and through Charleston’s historic neighborhoods. I’m not a city girl, but there’s something about Charleston that I really love.
I love running at my family’s cabin in northern Minnesota. It’s so peaceful. Just me, my thoughts and the trees. Sometimes I even run into wildlife. One time this summer I came across a porcupine crossing the road.
My recent favorite vacation run was in CT this winter break…my fiance and I ran some hills, and it was hard to hang in there, but I did!

My favorite vacation run was last month when we were in Hawaii for my birthday. Ran along Waikiki beach and up past Diamond Head. If I had scenery like that all the time I’d run even more!
I try to fit in a run when I travel for work– especially if I’ve been sitting in a conference all day! I traveled to Indianapolis and had never been before, so running was a great way to see the sights! I loved their canal system and enjoyed a few runs up and down the jogging paths next to the canals. I loved getting to see the sights while getting in my fitness!
I haven’t run on vacation but I will be doing a half marathon out of town. It is going to be my vacation run and will be fun. St. Petersburg, here I come.
A run in San Francisco. That was a killer!
i think my favorite runs on vacations are at my parents house. they live alongside a lake so it’s such a beautiful route to run not to mention that it’s relatively flat and gives me the option of street or beach. i always choose street but one of these days maybe i’ll actually run on the beach…

My favorite vacation run was recently in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. I did a short 3 miles on the treadmill (first run back after my marathon) and had the pleasure of watching a couple get married on the beach through the windows. It was so fun!
I confess that I have never gone running on vacation.
My favorite vacation run was this past summer in Cabo. I loved running on the beach even though it was extremely tough with the sand!
My favorite run was a four miler the morning of my destination wedding to Maine (technically destination, though I grew up there and live in New Jersey now). It was so tranquil and calming, I will never forget how great I felt after, and how relaxed it made me for the day ahead
We traveled to San Diego with the kids and since my mother in law was also on the vacation with us my husband and I took a rare run together near the hotel. Usually we take turns for our runs since someone has to watch the kids.

I think my favorite run was my most needed run. We were in Chicago on our second day (first day was spent eating our way through Chicago) and i rolled myself into the hotel gym for a 30 min run on the treadmill. I think I had grease and cheese fries sweating out of me.
My favorite vacation run actually is on a treadmill on a cruise ship! My husband and I went to the Bahamas for our anniversary last year and it was awesome staring at the Caribbean while running.

My TWO fav vaca runs….Hilton Head and the Mt Vernon trail up in DC. Amazing views, awe inspiring runs. Love to run the beach any day and it never gets old, and a great run is from Mt Vernon into the city right past the Pentagon and finish up by WWII memorial. Just beautiful!! <3
It wasn’t planned, but my best vacation run was an impromptu frolic through the snow with my Fiance while in Vermont last month! It was my first time seeing snow, it was snowing out, and I couldn’t contain my excitement! I ran around squealing until I tripped and fell!
Running along the beach on Cape Cod is my favorite!
Running in new places is the best!
My favorite “tourist” run was in Chicago. We got up pretty early and ran the route down the water towards Navy Pier and then ran around the Married with Children Fountain and the Bean! It was 8 am on a weekday so we had the Bean to ourselves which was pretty cool!
My favorite vacation run was around the island of Paros, Greece, with my friend from College. It was gorgeous!
My two best friends and I all live in differnt states, so it is special when we all see each other. Last time, we ran a 5k together in Arizona (the Reindeer Run!).

My favorite vacation run was in Vegas! It was morning and the city was quiet and it was really nice and cool to see all the hotels… plus having to run up stairs over some of the streets definitely added a new dimension to the run!
that skort looks so cute on you! but i don’t know if i could pull it off! i’ve been wanting to invest in a running skirt forever now, so being able to try one out through a giveaway would be ideal… i just need to know i’ll like it before i make the financial leap
my favorite vacation run is at the outer banks in nc. they have mile posts so you can really see how far you’re going without a garmin!

My best vacation run was in Virginia Beach, on the beach! I was woken up by the sunlight and decided to get in a run before continuing on our trip. Once on the beach I was joined by the guys from the local military base doing their morning runs – the cadences they would sing kept my pace better than it’d been in months!

I ran when we went on vacation to Cabo San Lucas. It is a great way to see the sights!
I was just in Kona, Hawaii for a week where Ironman is held, and I ran every day there! Even though I had to carry water with me on my 8 miles runs, it was so awesome and beautiful!!
My favorite vacation run was in Mexico on the beach because it doesn’t happen too often when you’re from the Midwest! Plus running on the sand is definitely a good workout for the booty
My all-time fave runs were during the week I spent in Hawaii over Christmas break one year. The sun would wake me up at 7 and I would get up and go!
Running in laguna beach at sunrise. It was breathtaking!
I recently went for a run at our resort in Cancun and it was amazing!
This its my first year running so no vacation runs for me yet, but I an going to california soon so maybe I’ll get a beach run in(I’ve been inspired by reading your blog) I’m so impressed that your running on your honeymoon! Congrats.
My favorite vacation runs have been in the mountains of Tennessee. I love the rollings hills and cooler weather. So different from Florida!
Love running on cruises becuase you can watch the ocean
On my honeymoon my husband biked next to me while we ran through 3 small towns along the coast of Mexico north of Puerto Vallarta! I covered 15 miles and we had a blast!
p.s. LOVE Moving Comfort! They make the best sports bras!

My favorite run was when I was in Spain for a high school trip! One of the teachers was training for the same mini-marathon as me. We ran in Madrid and Sevilla. They were awesome runs! It’s fun to run on the old streets and look at all the history.

My favorite vacation run was on the beach at Myrtle Beach.
My favorite vacation run was along the beach this past summer! Beach runs are the best:)
Fremantle, Western Australia! Right along the indian ocean
loved running in Costa Rica on my honeymoon
My favorite vacation run was a five-miler along the sea wall in Vancouver BC. It was a block from our hotel and ran along a beautiful waterfront. I only planned on one run while I was there but I loved it so much, I did it twice!
Running around my parents’ new neighborhood – right on Lake Erie. Nice scenery and nice breeze in the morning!
I don’t have a specific favorite – but its anytime I can get somewhere new, off road (trail). I love to see the nature scenery in other places!
My favorite vacation run was in Paris. I went to Paris on a whim (I purchased my ticket on a Tuesday and left that Saturday.) Our hotel was 5 minutes from Trocadéro, which has the most amazing views of the Eiffel Tower. This run was so amazing for a few reasons:
1) In 2006, I lived in Paris for 6 months and this run brought back all of the amazing memories from my Parisian life style. I ran under the Eiffel Tower on a beautiful sunny day!
2) It was my very first run after being cleared from a pelvic stress fracture. I fractured my pelvis training for my first marathon. While I had to put my goal of completing a marathon on hold, this run re-inspired me to continue chasing my goals.
3) This run reminded me how wonderful life is, and how important it is to seize so many opportunities around us. I came back from my vacation with a renewed sense of possibility and optimism. Never limit where running can take you!
My favorite vacation run was while my family and I were staying at an all-inclusive in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, a couple years ago. Running around the resort was a great way to scope out what the resort had to offer, while getting the extra challenge of running on sand!
Running the National Mall area in Washington D.C. – the river, the monuments, the capital, the white house . . . amazing!
I love visiting my sister in San Diego and running on the boardwalk at mission beach, so pretty ,and great people watching.
Asics 10k in Loncon
Asics 10k in London
My favorite vacation run was in San Francisco a couple years ago. Running along the bay up to the bridge was unbelievable.
Definitely my beach run on Coronado Island with my boyfriend right after Christmas! He’s in the Navy and so was able to get us onto the private beach that is part of the Seal Base. It was so beautiful!

My favorite vacation run was through the Italian Tuscany countryside. Breathtaking!!
Running around Niagara Falls in Canada was my favorite run! I even got some of the mist thrown on me to cool off. Loved those 10 miles!
Favorite vacation run is along the beach in Rio. They have a great path just for runners and bikers that goes all the way from Copacabana to Leblon beach. Gorgeous!
Running on the track on a cruise ship was fun! Especially since my Garmin just picked up the speed of the ship and not my speed. Fastest human ever!

My favorite vacation run was when my mom used to live in Hawaii and I would go visit her during the holidays. I would wake up early and either run on the running trail close to her house where the whole time you could see the ocean since it was partly up one of the mountains or I would run right along the water when no one else was around-just you and the ocean.
Love the skort–been meaning to try one out! Just haven’t found the right one.
My favorite run was last summer when I was at a wedding in Newport, Rhode Island. I ran to the ocean and it was gorgeous, sunny, and cool! Love exploring new places!

I travel to Vegas several times a year for work and running the strip early in the morning is a great experience! It’s hilarious, because there are still drunk people stumbling around!
My favorite vacation run was in Europe when I was studying abroad for law school. I would say running a near empty trail in the Netherlands or an early morning run through Munich were my favorites.
I haven’t run on any vacations (because I rarely vacation
) But I would love to run on the beach!
I’m in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 3 months! Running along the malecon here is my favorite;)
My FAVORITE run to date was my first 18-miler in the Ladysmith, Wisconsin. My family lives there and i was vacationing for a cousins wedding. The weather was 50 deg and i ran to my family farm. So exciting!
on the boardwalk by the beach
Hands down the beach was my favorite run was on the beach. Any beach, really.
I love running on the backroads near my family cottage in Wisconsin. It’s fun to see the variety of animals on the farms and enjoy car-free roads.
trail running in northern california while on vacation. i felt like i was in the middle of the mountains and then would look behind me and see the ocean……wonderful!

My favorite runs were during a semester abroad in Oxford, England. I loved running from the city centre, down the historic streets, and along the Thames. Gorgeous.
At 2012 Ragnar del Sol, one of our teammates finished her 7 miles with an uphill stretch. It was super early AM and the sun was just warming the dessert up, and I ran her in to the exchange with cheering and coaching. We bonded!
Oh I love this skort! My favorite vacation runs were this summer in Vermont – so great to run the trails and see the gorgeous scenery

Hilton Head. We go there every summer and running along the beach is the best way to start the day!
My favorite vacay run was on a treadmill on an Alaskan cruise ship looking out at beautiful icebergs!
This past December I was able to go on a work trip to England. My first morning there I decided to go for a run by the river outside the hotel we were staying at. It was snowing HUGE fluffly snowflakes and holiday lights were on everywhere. That was the perfect picturesque winter run and in an incredible place
I worked in Alaska for a summer 2 years ago- and while it wasn’t a true “vacation” I thought it was pretty amazing! Nothing can beat running through the mountains ( I even spotted a couple moose!) and it was great that the sun was up 24/7- it was always a perfect time to run!
My favorite beach run is whenever I vacation in Destin, which is as often as I can!
That skirt is so fun! I love the colors!
My favorite vacation run was in the Bahamas last year. The bridges we BRUTAL but totally worth it when I didn’t have to feel guilty about that extra Bahama Mama drink
Best vacation workout was a Cozumel excursion called the Amazing Cozumel Race. It was like a mini Amazing Race in Cozumel, running around and solving puzzles. So much fun!!!

Love beach running in Florida.
it’s always the best!
Beach runs are my favorite! I went to Pensacola a couple years ago when we moved my brother to school and we stayed at the base there. My dad and I ran along the walking trail and it was absolutely gorgeous.
My fav vacation run was probably when I was 16. I went running barefoot in the tide on the beach and ended it with some yoga before any other beach goers were out. It was breathtaking.

I don’t workout on vacation. It’s the one or two times a year that I give myself a break for a week and don’t beat myself up about it. Sometimes it’s nice to be lazy!
My favorite run was along the promenade in Cairns, Australia at sunrise. The resort town was sleepy so early in the morning and the scenery was beautiful!
My favorite run will always be the trails in the Colorado mountains. It’s beautiful and peaceful!
I loved running down to the beach in LA when visiting a friend. The winding roads had beautiful views of the water and of course running along the beach is always amazing.
My favorite vacation run was actually yeseday, when I ran the Disney marathon – my first full. I live in PA so running in the Florida sun was a nice change from the snow ive been running in at home.

I loved running along the beach houses in Palm Beach last month! It was gorgeous running weather and I had a lot of fun picking out dream vacation homes on the water
My favorite vacation run was when I was in Chicago. It was so much fun to run along the water and through Millennium Park, it was one of those runs that I felt like I could keep going for longer than what I had planned. I can totally see what the Chicago marathon is so popular, that city is very fun to run in.
Ireland! I’ve never been much of a “nature” person (I know, I know), or a vacation runner, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with those scenic, green landscapes. Amazing!
well, i have only ran on vacatino once and that was recently, and that was a 1st for me, so it was pretty exciting. It was at Great Wolfe Lodge on a treadmill but i ran both days I was there.
I loved run-cation to the Disneyland half marathon last Sept!!
I have been running two years now and have yet been able to have a vacation run!
Boo! I dream of running on a beach at sunrise or some awesome new trail. In a month I run a half marathon for the first time outside of my own city. Granted it is only 1 hour a way (in Austin), but I am totally counting it!!
My favorite run was actually at dusk in Costa Rica on my honeymoon! My husband and I ran along the beaches of tamarindo. So gorgeous!

Hawaii. Running down the beach on Maui and getting so lost because all the hotels look the same. A simple 3 mile fun run became a “let’s tour the entire beach” 10k.
ALLLLOOOOHAAAA
My favorite vacation run was while at a yoga retreat in Mexico. It was in a rural area outside of Puerto Vallarta, so I was running on dirt/gravel roads, next to fields and jungle. Even though ridiculously humid and hot, it was such a beautiful setting!

One of my favorite runs was on kiawah island, SC. I was there for a wedding and took a beautiful (hot) run on the path and veered off to the beach. I live in CO, so something about palm trees, beaches and salty air is oh so relaxing!!!
Favorite run was with my baby brother in my hometown in Texas!
A run on the beach in Florida at sunrise!!!
My favorite vacation run was on Nantucket this past summer. I’m usually pretty lazy on vacation and mostly get my exercise with lots of walking/hiking but since the marathon was coming up, I had to run. It was a great way to explore the island and see it from a different point of view!
My favorite vacation runs are always the ones that I do at the campground we stay at from March to October. We try to go every weekend. It is great to look at the lake and smell breakfast being cooked at all of the campsites.
My favorite vacation run was in Costa Rica 6 years ago. Running on the beach early in the morning, I was joined by the local children between catching the fish that they would sell that day. Huge iguanas would drop out of palm trees, and howler monkeys were in the trees by the hotel! I imagined that they were cheering me in
Tamarindo Beach is a magical place and I would love to go back!
love that the underneath boyshorts are patterned – you were right when you said FUN!
My favorite vacation run took place at HLS11 in Philly.
it was the first time I ran with blogger friends in the midst of my SERIOUSLY training for a race. It felt awesome to be able to run near friends, see new sites in a city I’d never visited before, and feel myself REALLY push it during the run, especially the last half of a mile when we totally picked up the pace, sprinting the last bit to the hotel. The experience totally changed the way I viewed myself as a runner, honestly.

My favorite run was when I was running on the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC in the morning at Myrtle Beach State Park. It turns out that they were doing an inventory of a sea turtle nest (dig up a nest that has hatched 3 days ago) and they were releasing the baby sea turtles! I got to see lots of lil sea turtles make their way to the ocean before I continued my run!

I can’t say I’m really a vacation runner. I tend to not schedule workouts on vacation, but I do stay active by walking and/or hiking. Not much beats my hike through the tropical rainforest in Puerto Rico.
My favorite runs are along Highway 30-A through the beaches of South Walton. I’m counting down the days until our October Beach Trip!
I don’t own any running skirts/skorts yet but I’d love one! My favorite vacation run was along the Arno River in Florence…too perfect. Finished with a cup of gelato.
My best vacation run was with my dad we meant to run 2 miles to the hotel but got lost and went 7. It felt great even running 5 more miles than expected!
The island of Kauai! I was in the dirt next to the road along with all the wild roosters. Hilarious and freeing
Hmm…it’s been FOREVER since I’ve been on vacation, but I did have a few nice runs at the beach in the early morning a few years ago.
My first trail run in the mountains of. Tennessee!!
I can’t narrow it down to one
I’d say the following:
Columbia River, Portland Oregon
Anytime I’m in Florida on spring break
Santa Fe, New Mexico through the rail yard
In the middle of a triathlon in Rhode Island – all along the beach!
So grateful I get these opportunities!
My favorite vacation run what then my fiance and I went on a cruise two years ago. It was during Hurrican Earl and the ship was rocking side to side pretty good. With the treadmill facing the side of the ship it was like running rolling hills without actually doing anything. It was an adventure, so now I can say I ran in the ocean during a hurricane.

Best vacation run… there have been so many great ones! Last May my boyfriend took me to a bed and breakfast for our anniversary out in Bath County, VA… it’s in the middle of the George Washington National Forest and is the most beautiful and wonderful place on earth! I woke up early and ran the back country roads up, up, up into the mountains every morning we were there. Watching the sun rise from the top of a mountain you just ran up… there’s nothing else like it.
I’ve loved running on the beach
Definitely running on the beach, any beach
.
My favorite vacation workout has to be when I got all of my friends to join in with me for a Daily Burn circuit workout while we were all staying together at a beach house for a wedding. It was fun to introduce my friends to a new workout and you can’t beat looking at the ocean waves while you work out!
The best run was when when I was in new zealand over the christmas holiday staying at my parents house. They live 2 miles from the beach. I would run to the beach in the morning run another mile down the beach and then back to the house. Its was also summer there so it was nice to get some outdoor running in since I live in cleveland ohio and right now most of my running is on a treadmill right now.
Running in Oahu, Hawaii!
So cute! Mine was while visiting family in Ohio. I’m used to lots of hills, and I was so in love with the flat terrain.
My favorite vacation run was last year while on a crusie! I woke up around 5:30am and hit the deck that had a waking/running track.. Theres nothing quite like getting an early morning exercise in while watching the sunrise over the endless landscape of the beautiful Atlantic ocean!
Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!!!
My favorite vacation run was a summer vaction to Montana – that wide open sky was so inviting!
My favorite run was on my honeymoon in Moorea. It wasn’t for the scenary – I was on a treadmill in a tiny “gym” if could even call it that! I had made it about 4 miles before my new husband was knocking on the window, with bottle of champagne in hand. Obviously, it did not take much convincing for me to end my run early and go join him on the beach for a cocktail!
I got a stress fracture last spring, so i finally got out of the walking boot the week before a trip to Hawaii. My first run outside (aka not on the treadmill) was along the beach in Waikiki. Best.Vacation.Run.Ever for so many reasons!!
my favorite vacation runs have been with my sister- we tend to stay clear of the beach but a beach location makes the scenery much better!
Running the Cooper River Bridge (now the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge – I just ignore the name change) in Charleston, SC is the best. Beautiful views, an incline to keep it challenging, and friendly of friendly faces!
Fave vacation run…Cape Cod. Beaches, country lanes, ponds, cute Main Streets…a little bit of everything.
2 vacation runs stand out, hawaii for the obvious reasons and TN in the rain along the riverside. Both glorious runs for competely different reasons!
i have a really bad track record of working out when im on vacation but I’d have to say a run along the beach in Cabo
My favorite vacation run was through Central Park in New York. I set out for a 3 miler but got distracted and did 6 instead!
Running in San Francisco – Nike Women’s Marathon
Last year I did my first marathon a week before our annual trip to Mexico. I took that week in between off from running and when I got to Mexico, I just ran on the beach and remembered what I love so much about running- perfect!
Favorite vacation run was something that was so the opposite of living in Florida — it was through the mountains of my homestate of Pennsylvania. I wasn’t much of a runner growing up so to return back to the roads I knew so well but to run them instead of biking or driving them was really special. It gave me some much needed time to enjoy some stillness and solitude around my favorite place on Earth — my late grandparents’ dairy farm!

My favorite vacation run was in Waikiki!
Best Vacation run – easy! While in Sri Lanka last year one of the places stayed was in Galle, acutally inside the fort. I was able to run the ramparts of the fort (built in 1588 by the Portugese) early in the moring while looking out on the Indian Ocean.
St Augustine half marathon. love the history and buildings
My favorite vacation run was in Fiji this past summer! It was gorgeous weather and the scenery couldn’t have been better!
I had a great time running when I was on vacation in Cancun. Of course I ran a few times on the beach, but my favorite run was my long run in the city. There is something about being in an unfamiliar place that makes the miles melt away. It was so much fun to see all the different sites and interact a bit with the locals. I was impressed by how polite a group of local teens were when we had to pass each other on a narrow sidewalk.
Super cute skirt! My favorite running vacay memory is the run I did on the beach in Hawaii on Christmas Day in 2011. Hubby and I went to Oahu for Christmas that year…highly recommend it to you and Derek for any future destination Christmas’ you might be planning!
My favorite vacation run was on a beach along the Gulf of Mexico. It was so beautiful, but SO hard to run in the sand.
Went to a family reunion last fall in the North Georgia mountains. Got up early one day for a good 9-mile run. It is super pretty up there but the hills are no joke!
This year we visited New Orleans with my brother and sister in law. I absolutely love the city with the architecture and history. My sister in law and I were in training for our first 1/2 marathon later that fall…we took a run around the french quarter and it was awesome…the heat and the humidity made it a bit more challenging than running at home in Vermont but the views and the people we greeted along the way made up for that….not to mention sharing the experience with my sister in law.
favorite vacation run = through the French Quarter in New Orleans! the cobblestone sucked to run on, but I was so amused by everything that it didn’t matter.
I used to vacation in the OBX in NC and I loved waking up every morning and running along the beach and sound. soooo pretty!!!!!!
My favorite vacation run was at a beach in puerto Rico- so pretty!
Favorite run was a morning run through Barcelona!
My favorite vacation run was 4 years ago when we took a belated first wedding anniversary trip to napa California. We hit up a local mountain path with an amazing view!
My only real vacation run (I’m a newbie) was last year on the beach in Pensacola, FL. It was really nice, can’t wait to go on vacay again!

The first time I want to San Francisco I did a 10 mile run from my hotel to the base of the Golden Gate Bridge and back.
I love exploring new trails! My favorite run is actually in my home town – a route I never did when I lived there, because I “hated” running then, but it’s one I looove to do whenever I go visit my parents. It’s in Newport, RI, and it’s a beautiful trail all along the ocean.
My favorite vacation run was in Lausanne, Switzerland! I ran along Lake Geneva at the end of November. It was the perfect temperature and the views were amazing.

My favorite vacation run with in Pass Christian, Mississippi! We were there doing mission work and a few of my friends and I got up early to run to the beach.
Sprinting along Old Orchard Beach in Maine… what make it best was the time of year, the luscious breeze and the misty salty air, and the feeling that my cousin (who I was attending a memorial service for) was still inhabiting the beach she loved…..
YAY! This looks awesome.
My fav vacation run was (several) in the Hills/mountains by my grandmother’s house in the Alps of Switzerland. Breathtaking.

My favorite place to run was actually visiting my in-laws in Kansas. My MIL’s mom lives in a quiet and semi traffic free area with long stretches of roads. Lots of hills, but very peaceful.
My favorite vacation runs were when I went on a cruise my senior year of college. The ship had a track that went around the top level of the boat. It was SO beautiful, it felt like running right on the ocean. I even saw some whales on one of my runs!!
My favorite vacation run was when I was on Spring Break in college of all places – about 15 of us rented a house in the Outer Banks in North Carolina and I woke up before the house and got out nice and early. Was so peaceful!
Would LOVE to try out a running skort for the first time!

My favorite out of town run is down the Vegas strip. Nothing better than watching walks of shame early in the morning. It always make the run just a little bit better! (=
I ran a few times when I was in Thailand, which was so beautiful! Definitely a favorite place of mine.
This just proves I need a vacation… I have no story!
I do like running through new neighborhoods though, and getting lost
At the beach – the weather was crummy, dark and rainy but I was training and had to get in some miles. I ran to a store and back. My sister caught up with me on a bike and got soaked too. I was proud that I just did it!
My favorite vacation run was on a beach in Maine. Cool, salty breeze and almost no one else running. It was one of my first solo runs outside, and I went twice as far as I’d planned to go. I took my shoes off and walked back in the waves. Such a good memory!

When we went to Disney World 2 years ago – I would get up early and run between the French Quarter and Dixie Landing Resorts. It was beautiful and peaceful.
Mine was in Singapore in a very nice hotel. It was cool to think my parents in the USA were going to bed as I was getting up and running in the morning!
Best Vacation Run was in Old town Puerto Rico . The cobble stone hills are intense as the heat. After a hard hot run I was able to enjoy my pina colada in its home town.
My favorite vacation run was along the boardwalk in Nice, France! I love looking out over the ocean while running, nothing can beat that view.
I don’t usually run on vacation. Maybe next time I’ll try it.
My favourite vacation run has been running on the beach in North Carolina at Christmas a few years ago. Very different from the snowy runs in the city and in the woods at home in December!
My dad and I live in different cities, but we run together whenever we can. My favorite vacation run was with my dad, in Washington, DC, on a Thanksgiving morning. We ran around as many monuments and memorials as we could, and took a break at the Washington Monument. It was a clear, windy morning, and we could hear the flags flap in the wind while we rested. It was breathtaking.
My favorite run was to the Metra in Chicago to catch the very last train of the night (early morning) on New Year’s Eve. It wasn’t fun at the time, but it’s funny to think about now!
I haven’t been on any real vacations recently, but I have gone “home” to PA and had some great runs there. The morning after Christmas this year, I went out and had a great quiet, snowy run. It was a great change from my usual busy Boston runs!
Love the skirt, by the way!
My favorite vacation run is along the beaches in Southern California. Nothing like looking at the ocean on your morning run.
My Hubby and I spend a lot of time on the island of Kauai. There is an awesome path along the east shore of the island. If I get out there early enough I can usually get the sunrise in and this time of year there are always whale doing there thing. It’s pretty amazing. Thankfully its a short .5 mile run from where we stay!
oh man, I have so many fond memories! I always run when I travel so lots to choose from… an awesome one was in New Zealand when I ran on Stewart Island. The ocean was choppy that day, bringing spp like albatross close to shore. This is a spp that you’d almost never see from land – this is a very special area for that reason! The trail was hilly and narrow, on a cliff of sorts and I was all alone. Just gorgeous!!!

My favorite so far was a long time ago. When I was young, I went for a jog on the treadmill of our family cruise to the Bahamas. It was awesome. Nothing but ocean everywhere I looked. Next time I go to Vegas, though, that jog is on the list.
If I do it at night, that might top the cruise.

Running up the steps of the Eiffel Tower- they give you access up the first 800 steps or so before you have to take the elevator to the top. It was amazing running the stairs with a bunch of my classmates!
My favorite vacation run was in the woods of Mohonk Preserve, in between climbing sessions!
Not sure if it counts as “vacation,” but while volunteering in Africa last summer my walk on the dirt roads surrounding my hostel turned into a run due to the heaviest, most instantaneous downpour I’ve ever experienced (and I live in Florida!) Bonus: I didn’t need to shower afterwards.
Puerto vallarta mexico…gorgeous
I would have to say that my favorite run happened when I was on my honeymoon. My husband and I took a cruise and I loved running on the track around the ship. However I got violently ill shortly after the cruise started and was quarentined for two days. On our last day I had enough energy to run on the treadmill overlooking the ocean. It was so amazing to see!
Congrats again on your wedding and marriage! My favorite vacation runs always include water – a run on the beach, a run around a like, a run near a stream.

my favorite run was a 5 miler in Salzburg, Austria along the river during fall… so beautiful!
Fave runs are in the early morning while vacationing in the Florida Keys in February (I’m from Vermont and HATE running in cold weather!)
My best vacation run was in Central Park. I loved being in such an iconic location and surrounded by so many other runners.

I studied abroad in Amsterdam my last semester of college. I was facing graduation and trying to figure out what I was going to do so I would often go for a run to think and clear my head. I lived in the city center so when I would go out on a long run I would end up in the country out in the middle of nowhere. Windmills, tulips, and canals. It was amazing. Besides, I felt like an Olympian being able to run to the next town (because they are so close together!).

My favorite vacation run(s) took place at the beaches in Mexico! Hot, yes….but beautiful and serene and invigorating as well.
i love to run thru the woods along the water its awesome to see everything in wildlife
The beach. The sand makes for a great workout.
OH, my favorite place to run was in Maui – also when we were on our honeymoon. The problem was, well at least for me, since it was at the end of May, I had to run first thing in the AM before sunrise because the HEAT + HILLS, well, that was TROUBLE for me.
Congratulations on your wedding. Enjoy what’s left of your honeymoon.
Through the streets of San Francisco!
My favorite vacation was a trip to Ireland with my family in high school. It was my first time out of the country and I just loved every minute of the Irish culture!
The treadmills in Hawaii were one of my favorite places to run. The beaches near us were rocky & not ideal for running, but the views from the fitness center treadmills (overlooking the resort & beaches from the 2nd story level), were so picturesque and allowed you to enjoy the beautiful views without having to divert your eyes to keep from tripping!
Trail running in Jackson Hole, Wyoming! Such amazing views and no humidity!
My favorite “vacation” run was actually while I was volunteering in Uganda one summer! I would run on the dark, red, and dusty roads in town and get called the “crazy Mzungu” (crazy white person)! Most African people don’t run “for fun”! Anyway, the scenery was so beautiful, not the desert that most people think of! Picture lush mountains and the Nile River!
I’ve never gone anywhere really tropical or beachy, but I guess my favorite run was at Ft. Benning when I was visiting my husband!
My favorite vacation run was in Denver, CO. The scenery was just beautiful and I felt like the air was exceptionally clean and fresh. Just loved it!
My favorite runs are on the beach in Flordia where we vacation every year; unless it is super windy out and then I just walk and enjoy the view!
I went on an awesome run in the Bahamas about a year ago! It was great!!
Running on the beach in Hawaii. Heaven!!
It was probably either running on a 4 wheeler trail in Mid-Northern Alaska which was so gorgeous and quiet and rugged or running in one of the biggest parks in London…

Definitely a beach run!
I loved running with my mom last year in Vegas. We live far away from each other and don’t get to run together often, so it was nice to get that opportunity when we went to Vegas as a family. The best part was we both packed the same running outfit – black capris, gray t-shirt, and pink jacket. Now I know where I get my sense of style!
Favorite vacation run was along the water on Bainbridge Island (across the Sound from Seattle). It was absolutely gorgeous, and a great way to explore the town!
Beach run Hilton head island!!
My favorite vacation run was along VA beach! It was so relaxing, wish I could run on the beach everyday.
Hands down my favorite vacation run was around Oxford during my study abroad. The history and the scenery were just to die for and made the miles fly by! It wasn’t technically a vacation but it sure did feel like it during those miles!
My favorite beach run was last summer, an early morining run on Destin Beach, FL
My favorite vacation run was on a cruise ship! I didn’t sleep well the first night on the ship so I got up super early to run on the track that was built into one of the top decks. It was the windiest run of my life, but nothing compares to watching the sunrise in the middle of Atlantic Ocean. I also took my first spin class on that ship with a hot Australian instructor… needless to say no dry-land spin class has compared.
Favorite vacation run was on the beaches in my hometown, Coronado, CA! It’s just a beautiful beach, and the sunset, with the Hotel Del in the background, is just stunning!

My favorite run ever was just after I started running. We went back to our undergrad campus and ran at dawn through campus. It was amazing!
My favorite vacation run was on the beach in Clearwater! It was beautiful and the weather was perfect!
My favorite vacation run is in St. Augustine. The sand is hard and flat so it isn’t nearly as difficult as soft sand!
Well…I’ve only been on one “vacation” since I’ve started running (and given birth to my child a year and a half ago) and it was to stay at my parents house. lol So I am going to say my DREAM vacation run would be on a Walt Disney World Cruise! Even if I did run on the treadmill…I would be on a Disney World Cruise! lol
Thanks for having the giveaway! And it looks like you had a ton if fun on your Honeymoon! Congratulations!!! 
So glad you’re enjoying! I think my fav has been a riviera maya beach run!
I dont know if i can pick a favorite vacation run! I just love running on vacation- it makes the day of relaxing so much more enjoyable. One that stands out is when I was visiting Niagara Falls and found out they had a 1/2 marathon the next day (that ended at the falls). It was a beautiful run, gorgeous scenery, perfect temperatures and I was on vacation with my family!
Fave vacation spot to run is Oak Island, NC. We visit there often and I always love my early morning runs on the beach! It is the perfect way to start any day at the beach!
My favorite running spot is in the UP (during the summer) on trails in the forests. It is such a peaceful place to be in the summer, the trees swaying back and forth in the wind making a very unique sound and the birds singing all day long, it’s perfect.
I hope you continue to have lots of fun on your trip!
I’m one of those treadmill vacation runners–love it!
My favorite run on vacation was on Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, FL.
Congratulations on your wedding!
Haven’t went on a vacation but I’d love to run on the beach in Fiji!

I haven’t really been running anywhere exciting yet but in one week I will be running on a snazzy treadmill in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship. I’m hoping there might be a place to run out on deck too but time will tell.
My favorite run was on the beach in Daytona Beach, Florida.
It sounds odd to choose a treadmill run as a favorite, but it was fun running on the cruise ship and watching the open water and waves.

favorite vacation runs= NC’s Outer Banks. The beaches, the quiet roads (well, in the off season), the fresh air! ahhh
I love beach runs too, but my all time fave vacation run was on the top deck of a cruise while out at sea. Nothing but beautiful ocean views on all sides! So serene!!
My favorite vacation run was more of a bunch of sprints than a true run when my husband and I put together a workout on the tennis court during our honeymoon in the DR!

My fav vacation run was when I ran from the Netherlands to BELGIUM and back again. Crossing country borders was great fun (for someone like me from a big island where that is impossible!)
Most challenging and beautiful run was in the mountains in NC!
I love running on the boardwalk at the Jersey shore! My craziest vacation run was probably in West Yellowstone, MT at 7,000 elevation last February with tons of snow on the ground!
A run on kiawah island beach in South Carolina… I just love how its hard packed sand so I can run for miles (unlike soft sanded beaches where half a mile in I am ready to turn around)
8 mile run in laie Hawaii was the best!!
I haven’t been a runner for long enough to have run on vacation!! However, I’m looking forward to travelling from the capital of Canada (where I live) to your capital to run the DC RnR half marathon in March. And I’ll be running some taper runs in the Dominican Republic in May the week before another half marathon. Very much looking foward to getting some miles outside of my city under my belt!!

Honeymoon run with my sweetheart in Hawaii!
Well, haven’t had any extravagant vacations recently, and the closest I got to a run was scrambling up rocks with a pack on during my backpacking trip last summer. I went to the Trinity Alps in California for a week long backpacking adventure! It was amazing, and although I love a good run, ‘Packin’ all day with a 50+lb pack took me down to less than 5mph. But I would totally rock that skirt on my next run. I have a beach run comming up soon http://www.trinidadtoclambeach.com/ it’s an annual run that starts in scenic Trinidad, and crosses over Little River and ends with 3+ miles of just beach, it’s one of my favorite runs of all time.
Thanks,
Nikki
My favorite run is in Nantucket as the sun is coming up. Its so peaceful and beautiful. I dream about it when I am stuck in a gym!

I love running in St. Louis. I’ve been there a handful of times and have stayed downtown by the arch/riverfront. Every time the weather has been gorgeous, and the city has done a great job making a nice walking/jogging/running trail that runs along the river and more industrial areas.
I just started following your blog, I’m so jealous. It’s about -10 here where I live. I could use some sun.
I don’t travel much…I’m just too frugal….so, when I get a chance to get to Idaho Falls, ID I love to run near their waterway/falls. The mornings are quiet, the sound of the falls is calming, and the temps in the morning are perfect!!!
Mine has to be a run in Rome while I was studying abroad there one summer!

I just started running last year to train for my first 5k (I know, small potatoes to you marathon runners). My favorite vacation run was at my family’s cabin up in Florence, WI. I hit the dusty unpaved road and passed several deer and squirrels on my way–it was truly a nature-ful run!

My favorite vacation run was in Honolulu!
One of my favorite vacation runs was up in Stowe, Vermont. My sister lived by a bunch of farms and it was fall, so there were lots of fun corn fields full of fall decorations and pumpkins to run by.
My favorite run was actually during my honeymoon
. Running along the beach and city streets of Aruba….. Can not wait to do it again someday! Enjoy your honeymoon!
I was lucky enough to go on a work trip to Istanbul. I ran from the hotel at sunrise along the Bosphorus River that separates Europe from Asia. I was running by the Topkopi Palace of the sultan and ruler of the Ottoman Empire, on the European side, staring across the Bosphorus River at Asia. If the bridge were open to foot traffic, I could have run from Europe to Asia and back to Europe on a 3 miler from my hotel!!
My favorite so far was San Fran Nike Half- course was beautiful, a lot of fun. Even the hills were fun.
My favorite vacation run was in Aruba with my friends on my friends wedding day. Post run we all bum rushed it into the hotel pool…amazing!
My favorite vacation run was running in Hawaii along Kalakaua Avenue. So many people, stores, and views to look at. I never got bored!
My favorite vacation run was a sunrise run in the mountains in Maine – so beautiful!
On the beach on Cape Cod, great sea breeze and beautiful views
The path along the Potomac River in DC. There is truly no more peaceful or beautiful place!
My favorite vacation run is on a cruise ship on the track around the sun deck on the “at sea” days.

Running along beach road in the Outer Banks. I love stopping, crossing the dunes to watch the dolphins for awhile, then getting back to running…!
I haven’t been on many vacations since I started running. My two most memorable would have been 7 miles on the treadmill in Chicago (it was my first 7 miler and I was proud of myself for doing it on vacation) and a 14 miler on curvy windy roads in Arkansas (probably also my stupidest run).

My favorite vacation run would have to be my only vacation run (i’m new to running as of a year ago) and that’s at lake ontario at a campground on our way to the adirondacks. I didn’t run once we actually got to the adirondacks bc we we doing straight uphill long hikes, and that was plenty workout for me!
Loved running during my time in D.C. last summer and going to all the monuments (:
Siesta Key Beach, Florida. Beautiful beaches with the most incredible white sand. So jealous that you live in Florida. There really is something very magical about beach running in the early morning.
Windmill-dotted mountains of southern Spain to the North, a view of Morocco to the South, 40 minutes on the beach in Tarifa with a dear friend in a perfect moment in my life and almost twelve years later I can still remember almost the entirety of our conversation verbatim. Thanks for jogging my memory today (no pun intended). And congratulations/best wishes to you and Derek!
Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, DE. LOVE it!!!!
Ogunquit, ME for 12 glorious miles along the coast!
My favorite vacation run… we hardly EVER go anywhere… but it would have to be in Austin, Texas during a conference… Great 5K in an awesome park that looped around the downtown area… Very cool… and I only got lost once!

My favorite vacation run happens every year in Maine along the beach. Nothing like sand between your toes and waves as background noise!
I live in Mass, so every time I go down the Cape during the summer I run along their bike trail. It’s so pretty and flat (compared to everywhere else in New England!) It runs pretty much all the way up the arm of the Cape, so no matter where you are you can always catch a few miles of it. Have fun on your honeymoon!
I had a great run through the woods on our family camping trip. With 3 little ones it always goes best when I rise as the sun comes up and they are sleeping.
I have never gone for a run on a vacation
Chicago! Even though I face planted.
I ran with my boyfriend along the Mississppi River levees at Oak Alley Plantation. The sun was low and it was warm. A great beginning to our New Orleans / Louisiana trip.
My favorite vacation run is definitely anywhere on Disney property, but especially Disney races. Running a half marathon or marathon on vacation makes a perfect vacation for me!
Heather recently posted..101 in 1001 Final Update
One of my most memorable runs was on a cruise ship in the Pacific between Mexico and California. The water was really choppy, but I was determined to get my run in, so I hopped on the treadmill. Thanks to the bobbing of the ship, I actually felt like I was running hills, and I occasionally had to grab the handrails to steady myself. While I wouldn’t want every run to be as rolling, it was an interesting way to break up the monotony of a treadmill run! (Thank goodness I don’t get seasick!)
One of my favorite runs was in NYC on vacation with my mother last spring!
Definitely running through the woods in Germany. I used to live outside of Cologne on the edge of a huge forest, so many of my mornings would start with a run along wooded trails, open fields and hilly country side. Sehr schön!
Riviera Maya
I worked out on an elliptical in Maui with wall to wall, floor to ceiling windows with views of the ocean in front of me!
My gosh, on the North Shore in Oahu @ the Turtle Bay resort! They had 12 miles of private coastline trails!! I wish I was there right now
My favourite race on a vacation was the Disney Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon last November. My favourite not race run would have to been on the Norwegian Sky on a Bahamas Cruise in Dec 2011. I loved running on the running deck, even though I tended to do so at night!

My best vacation run was in Maui, Hawaii!! It was by far the most glorious run of my entire life.

Gulf coast running along water
I haven’t went for a run on vacation yet but I always wanted to run along a beach!
I’ve only run on vacation a couple times because I haven’t even been running all that long. My favorite would be in Vegas. It was a treadmill run, but in a nice hotel with a nice gym looking out on the pool I would soon be laying in.
As a Northern New Englander, it has to be beach runs in Florida in February in shorts and a sports bra!!!!!
My honeymoon in St. Lucia!!!
Favorite vacation run was in Denver. So challenging because of the altitude but I was proud of myself for finishing!
My favorite vacation run has been in Chicago!
My favorite run was on a treadmill in our hotel in San Francisco. It sounds silly, but it was my first vacation run and the one where I realized that I was strong enough to carry out my fitness goals/ journeys while on vacation!
I love running at the beach. my favorite vacation run is when I ran with my friend Bobbie Jo! It was definitely just a good first friendship run! (:

I love running in rural vermont. You can run through fields and pastures, over hills, and the air smells so fresh! Love.
My favorite run is on the back roads of the little town in Canada where we vacation with my entire family. The mainly shaded dirt roads with patches of bright sun and views of the nearby lake make for a great run
Fav run was completed on a treadmill on a cruise ship as we docked in the Bahamas! Pure dedication while training for my first half.
Cruise run on a tiny track. Only 2 loops because I felt so ridiculous. I counted it anyway!
My best vacation run was overlooking Biscayne Bay at sunrise on a treadmill at J.W. Marriott in Miami. Beautiful hotel and gorgeous view!
My favorite vacation run was this past November in Boston. I didn’t have much time for sight seeing because I was at a conference, but I got up early one morning to see as much of the city on foot as I could. I got in about six miles, and probably could have gone on forever if I didn’t have to get back to present. It was absolutely wonderful. A close runner up was two days of running in Tampa, also while I was there for a conference. I made a new friend and him and I really enjoyed running along the water after long days of conferencing.
This Florida Girl loves to run at Disney!!
On Marco island, my home away from home. We vacation there every summer. It’s so beautiful!

I don’t know if going to visit my parents counts as a vacation but I just love getting the chance to run with my dad when we visit. He’s been a runner since he was in his 20′s and I have only seriously worked out for the last few years (I ran off and on between years of smoking) so it’s always a treat – we’ve even done a couple of Thanksgiving day races the last 2 years. We didn’t get along fabulously when I was a teenager so running together allows us to bond in a way we didn’t get to before.
Cruise ship running on an Alaskan cruise is the best! Especially when cruising by the glaciers–it’s an amazing view!

Jealous of you, as I’m benched right now with a fracture…I’m reading MnM to “run vicariously” through you, for now! My favorite run was during my autumn vacation in coastal Alaska. I’d finish a late supper, lace up my sneakers and set off to enjoy the most piquant, sweet little ride amongst quaking Aspens and black spruce along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, right on the Gulf of Alaska. Across the water, the entire evening skyline of Anchorage would reverberate in a rainbow of colors, awash across the water.Occasionally, a Moose would meander across the trail (one night, with her calf!). There were a few nights where I was forunate enough to glimpse the reverberating silvery-green swirls of the Aurora Borealis, dancing in muted flames across the sky. I will NEVER forget it! It was the most exhilarating week of my life, and the most enchanting running destination I’ve ever experienced. Amazing.
Some of my favorite running memories are from the semester I spent abroad in Barcelona. There was one route I would take about once a week down a main road that led to the beach which was my absolute favorite. It was neat to watch the locals go about their day and then end up at the water before heading back.
Beach, beach, beach! Usually the beach we visit is in the Outer Banks, NC…lovely!
My best vacation run was in a blizzard in Washington, DC!
When I visit my parents in Divide, CO I love to run the quiet mountain roads looking out over Pikes Peak and the Mountain valley.

One of my favorite vacation runs was in Asheville, NC. Seth and I had rented a cabin in the woods for the week, and I went for a run around the mountain and into town. It was such fun to run through the trees and take in the mountain views!
I went for a run down Las Ramblas in Barcelona. I got a lot of looks but it was great.
My favorite vacation run is around my the tiny lake in Massachusetts where my family has a lake house. Though it’s only about a 2 mile loop, I can run there forever because it’s so peaceful and serene… especially in the mornings. It’s one of the things I look forward to most when we travel up there from Texas every summer. Not to mention the weather is SO much more pleasant!
Tokyo, around the Imperial Palace! Magical – in spring, the cherry blossoms are in bloom and in the fall, the autumn colors shine bright!

Most of my Vacation “runs” are done on the hotel treadmill, but I used to love long, morning walks when my family would visit Gasparilla Island as a younger kid. Even though I wasn’t in my fit stages of like, my mother and I could bank at least five miles a morning looking for shells and enjoying the sunrise.

Going for a run is the best way to explore a new place. My favorite vacation run was a run along the beach in the Cayman Islands.
Hands down best vacation run was in St. Lucia. I did it (are you ready for this!) as an excursion around and near La Soufriere, and the volcano that is there. It was probably the most amazing run that I will ever do, through the rainforest with all the amazing wildlife and scenery. I would go back in a heat-beat.
I love running skirts. This one sounds like a good choice for me. My favorite vacation run has to be along a river in Fort Worth, Texas. Despite the humidity, the area was beautiful!

My favorite run was in the mountains in Arizona where my fiance proposed!
In Boston with my husband! We were visiting family
My favorite run during a vacation was through the parks for the Disney Princess Half Marathon. Yes, I was on vacation because of the race, but it was the best 13.1 miles ever!
I think one of my favorite runs has to be in San Francisco – all I wanted to do was run to the Golden Gate Bridge – wound up being a half marathon trek there and back but it was one of the most beautiful runs I had been on and those miles flew by!

Running on the beach in Mexico!
Around the reservoir in Central Park in NYC! It was fantastic!
My favorite vacay run was when I went to visit a friend in Lakewood Colorado last June. It sky was crazy blue and the mountain backdrops were stunning. The crisp air was so invigorating and it was one of my fastest runs in a long time.
My favorite run was on a beach in Australia.
On the beach in Florida
I’d love to run in Central Park–NYC! The last time I was visiting, I was very new to running. Looks like fun with lots of people watching to pass the miles.
Would love to try that cool skirt.
Congrats on your marriage and happiness always!
The beach in Avalon, NJ. Heaven.
My favorite was a 6-miler with my husband on our 10th anniversary trip to Olympic National Park in Washington. We rarely get a chance to run together!

Ran with my sister at the beach in ocean city New Jersey. Went there for weekend to see my son at the drumline competition. Never saw the competition, but had a great weekend with my 2 sisters and my mother.
Early morning on the beach watching the sunrise.
My favorite is along the boardwalk at our local beach.
All of my vacay runs have been for races so I would like to say Seattle has been my fave so far.

My favorite vacation run was on the Pacific Ocean aboard a cruis ship on our way Mexico!!
i have recently started running, so i don’t have a favorite vacation run yet, but i know i will enjoy running on the beach once summer gets here again
My favorite run was probably the semester I spent in London. My friend and I would run through Kensington Park. Second favorite was running along the river in Philadelphia – I live in UT so coming down 4000 feet in elevation made for a fun and fast run by all the boat houses!
I went to Aruba with a dear friend this past June and ran on a treadmill looking out the windows on the water – delightful!
My favorite vacation run was on a 1 night girls getaway with friends! We all love to workout, but I forgot shorts, and one friend forgot any workout stuff whatsoever, including tennis shoes! But we all woke up at 6am to go on a run, me in my pj pants and 5 months pregnant, and my other friend in her pajamas and flip flops!!!! We laughed the whole time as our other friends made fun of us, but it was super fun and a great memory!
At school, I would travel at least once a year for pep band. Getting lots of free time meant we could all finally work out without having to worry about classes and homework, so I’d enjoy the treadmill while people watching, especially in Louisville, KY where the gym was on the first floor

I went on a great beach run two summers ago! It maybe wasn’t the best workout since it ended when we started freaking out about a giant dead jellyfish, but like I said, fun!
My favorite vacation run was along W Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, CA. The beautiful shore with breaking waves on one side, multi-million dollar houses on the other!
In Italy we stayed at a villa in Tuscany surrounded by farms. Running there was spectacular!
Hilton Head run – I found a flat trail that lead right to the beach and knew that afterward was a bike ride to great PANCAKES with my family and loved ones
I went to NYC recently and ran in Central Park in 30 degree weather.I t was rough for this Florida girl but it was so beautiful!

I love running in NYC while on vacation as I’m from west Texas and it’s so different.
My favorite vacation run would have to be when I was in Philly and I ran my first-ever 6 miler in the new-to-me city!

I’m a first time mom still trying to figure out how to balance time enough to get out and run. ANY time or place that can happen is always like a mini vacation!

My favorite vacation run would have to be a toss-up between running on the beach in Barcelona and running in New York City. Although I had a pretty spectacular run in Florence once too…tough call! Running is such an amazing way to explore new cities.
I haven’t been on a vacation since I’ve started running seriously
Makes you want to send me that running skort huh?

Love running at the beach…We don’t travel far from home with our little ones. But heading out on RT 12 in the Outer Banks, NC has help me shed some pounds as I sweat it out along the coastal highway. Love the sounds of the waves as I run.
