6 Bucket-List Runs You Can Do With a Campervan

Want your next run to be the highlight of a lifetime? These six unforgettable routes combine epic scenery, trail freedom, and the joy of rolling into your own personal finish line — your campervan.

🏁 1. The Monaco Grand Prix Circuit – Monte Carlo, Monaco

• Distance: ~3.3 km loop
• Vibe: Glamour, history, quiet sunrise streets
• Why it’s epic: Run the legendary Formula 1 track before the city wakes up. You’ll loop past the Casino, cruise the tunnel, and circle the harbour — no grandstands, just grandeur.
• Where to stay: Overnight just outside Monaco in Èze or La Turbie. Pair the run with a spa pass in Monte Carlo.

Run this as part of our 'Runner's Riviera' trip from €640 or €1380 per person

🌊 2. Cape of Good Hope Coastal Loop – Cape Town, South Africa

• Distance: 5–10 km (loop options)
• Vibe: Raw coast, crashing waves, end-of-the-world feeling
• Why it’s epic: Run wild on the cliffs of the Cape Peninsula. This route is all about exposure — to wind, waves, and nature. It’s not just beautiful, it’s unforgettable.
• Where to stay: Campsites near Simon’s Town or Misty Cliffs. Fresh coffee and cold Atlantic swims nearby.

🏞️ 3. Zion Canyon Scenic Route – Utah, USA

• Distance: 6–13 km (run as out-and-back)

🏛️ 4. Olympic Stadium & Clifftop Loop – Northern Greece

• Distance: ~5–15 km (varied route options)
