Eva’s recent Picks of the Week post highlighted some of Matador’s fitness conscious content for travelers who want to work out on the road.

Since then, I’ve come across the great website, Run the Planet, which is a running traveler’s dream!

Among its best features, Run the Planet offers the following:

*More than 2,800 suggested running routes in the United States, with hundreds more from around the world;

*A calendar of races, runs, and marathons around the world;

*Versions of the site in Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

If you’re a runner, check out this site before your next trip. And don’t forget your shoes.

What resources do you use to find out about fitness opportunities on the road? Leave a suggestion in the Comments.
