Put your running shoes on this February! From cross country routes, to half marathons and duathlons…whatever floats your boat!
As always, Madrid has come up trumps this month with a range of different runs to choose from. I have listed all the runs I could find, some in central Madrid, while others are further afield in Torrejón de Ardos, San Sebastian de Los Reyes and Parla, to name a few.
I’m getting nervous already for my second half marathon (10a Media Maratón de La Latina), as I’ve already signed up for it, no going back now…
