Come and join us for International Events!!
Often throughout the year many of us Roadrunners organise our own trips abroad. Someone will come up with an idea and we'll then eventually post it on Facebook.
These events are usually marathons but many incorporate half marathons & 10Ks also. We also have members who travel to international parkruns. Often many may just come to support, so it's ideal if you just want a holiday.
The problem is many people can feel left out or new members may not have noticed old posts on Facebook.
If you have a trip planned in next year or so, or have a great idea then please contact me or email your idea and rough details to runnersontheroad@readingroadrunners.org or just tag me in (Paul Monaghan) and mention details on Facebook. Note you're not obliged to do this and it's totally understandable that you just may want to arrange your own trip with friends. But come on we all love a good holiday.

Seville Marathon 2023
| Distances | Marathon & 5K Breakfast Run |
|---|---|
| parkruns? | None nearby |
| Date | 19th February 2023 |

| Details | One awesome city that is quite possibly our favourite Spanish marathon. It's billed as one of the flattest in Europe and certainly lives up to that. The course also passes the picturesque Plaza de España which is also the kick off point to the 5K breakfast run the day before. Post race the city is brimming with brilliant tapas bars and numerous watering holes. Really is one that can't be missed as many Roadrunners will testify We normally stay around the reasonably priced Macarena district which is a short bus ride from the centre..
