New tourism project Runscapes takes Romanians on running & biking city breaks abroad

A young Romanian who works in advertising has started an agency that organizes city breaks and mini – holidays abroad which combine jogging and visiting. The project created by Diana Coman, called Runscapes, recently organized its first city break in Paris, where running and biking mixed with cultural trips and the night life. In the first day of the Paris runscape, the group of six Romanians took a bike tour on the Loire valley, and on the next morning run 5 kilometers on Coulée Verte, a path built on a former railway track. Diana Coman plans to organize the next runscapes to Tenerife, Iceland and Thailand, she told Romania-Insider.com. “For the moment we want to run across the world, but I would not exclude organizing something similar in Romania too. In this case I would target foreigners who would like to discover Romania this way,” she said. Runscapes is the first event organizing agency that puts together mini touristic marathons which combine visits to interesting places with sports.
