Unless you’re happy with a two-minute noodle diet, spend some time getting to know your stove. Most small camp stoves have just one setting and few bike travelers carry more than two small pots, but with a little creativity you can whip up a delicious meal after a tough day of pedaling. It’s crucial to remember that Patagonia is a vast, sparsely populated region of mountains, glaciers and pampas (grasslands) at the end of the world. Any trip here presents logistical challenges and requires careful planning. Since the region’s attractions are very spread out, and since where and when you go largely depends on what you want to do, here’s everything you need to know about getting around Patagonia by air, bus, boat, bicycle and car. Traveling by air can be a time saverRacing down First Ave in Manhattan, the skyscrapers glinting in the sun, the cheering crowds five-deep on either side, is one of the most uplifting experiences in running. The New York City Marathon is a festival from start to finish, taking you on a tour of the city’s five boroughs, the roads lined the entire way with people encouraging you, holding up hilarious placards and handing out food and drink of every description. Just save a little energy for the rolling hills of Central Park at the end. If exploring Tierra del Fuego, you may need to carry spare canisters of fuel, since gas stations are very few and far between. So iconic you can see it from space (almost), the Great Wall of China also hosts one of the world’s toughest marathons. Aside from the heat – temperatures can reach close to 40°C during the race – the main challenge is the many steep climbs, including a total of 5164 steps. The event is a sellout each year with 2500 runners from over 60 nations taking part. As well as two lengthy sections along the top of the wall, the race offers some relief from the climbing with a flat section in the middle on asphalt and gravel roads, taking you on a tour through picturesque Chinese villages and rice fields. Each run is accompanied by stunning photos and a map and toolkit of practical details - where to start and finish, how to get there, where to stay and more - to help you plan the perfect trip. Suggestions for similar runs around the world are also included.

Super 6 Running

This is a mostly flat, fast Paris marathon course that takes in some of the city’s most famous landmarks. Starting on the Champs-Élysées, it winds past Notre Dame, the Place de la Bastille and the Eiffel Tower, through two of the city’s wooded parks and along the banks of the Seine before finishing on Avenue Foch in sight of the Arc de Triomphe. With 57,000 runners taking part, it’s one of the world’s biggest marathons, and while in previous years the race had a reputation for being ignored by Parisians, in recent years the crowd support has been whole-hearted and full-voiced. At 35km the organizers hand out cheese and wine, just to make sure you know exactly which city you’re running in. Registeration is now open. Each run is accompanied by stunning photos and a map and toolkit of practical details – where to start and finish, how to get there, where to stay and more – to help you plan the perfect trip. Suggestions for similar runs around the world are also included. There is no phone coverage outside of towns, so make sure you travel with a spare tire other basic repair equipment – and know how to use it. Other drivers will stop to help in case of breakdown. Long-distance cycle tours are a cheap, challenging and entirely unforgettable way to see the world. But are you willing to swap planes and hotel beds for a tent, two wheels and the open road? If you like Couchsurfing, then Warmshowers – a tight-knit international community of cycling enthusiasts catering to pedal-powered travelers – will be your best friend on tour.
