Top 3 greatest off road running races.



here are some of peoples top 3 off road running races,






1) 7 Sisters Trail Race - USA

This off road race in USA called the 7 sisters trail race, is self known as the 'roller coaster ride' for all runners. The first half of the race asks runners to climb 3,700 feet, before a tricky descent down the other side. This race takes place in the Mt. Holyoke mountain Range with a 12 mile course run full of hills, very uneven footing and amazing views.






2)Jungle Marathon - Brazil

For the Brazil jungle marathon, the preparation for the marathon is much more intense than a normal marathon. Medical checks, jungle training and safety briefings take place. This race starts from a base camp at the heart of the Amazon rain forest, through jungle paths, crossing rivers and battling through shoe-sucking mud. Participants run for 75 miles(122km) in 38 degrees.



3)James River Scramble – USA

This may seem like a normal race, starting and finishing in a city. This is a 10km run, along the James River, where you’ll have to run along dirt trails. After this you will face rough terrain that you will have to battle through, including ravines and creek beds.
