As featured in Like The Wind Magazine

Road Runner is packed with over a quarter of a century of running experience, tips, tricks and tales to help runners at all levels embrace the city’s chaos.

Ultrarunner and founder of See More Running Tours, Callum Jacobs invites you on a wild running journey through the urban Badlands. In this exhilarating guide for recreational runners, discover how to navigate the mean streets, grab a free taco to fuel your long runs, and keep cool in the city heat. Follow tales of heart-pounding adventures, from jogs around the block to 100km city to city ultraruns, that'll make you gasp for breath and laugh out loud. But it's not just about the laughs – Road Runner weaves in psychology, economics, and philosophical insights, turning your runs into thought-provoking adventures for the mind as well as the body.

With a foreword by running legend Dean ‘Ultramarathon Man’ Karnazes, Road Runner is part travelogue, part psychogeography running tour, part meditation on the nature of life in the metropolis. Road Runner will inspire you to lace up your trainers and hit the urban trails.
