“The pandemic had us all cooped up at home and being able to experience our first trip abroad with Rogue is amazing! Allison guided the trip, but I know that the whole team has been involved in the meticulously planned days, runs, meals, and entertainment. We LOVED the trip from the beginning to the end. Hosts and guides in Kenya were knowledgeable, welcoming, and warm. We learned so much about life in Kenya, the running culture, but also history and culture in general. We loved the safaris and our awesome guide Melly. I cannot say enough about how fantastic this trip was! Thank you for making it absolutely PERFECT!”

“I asked about a million questions before signing up for my first Rogue Expeditions trip, but can tell you that from now on I’ll be signing up as fast as possible and no questions asked, for as many trips as I can. I would (and have!) blindly follow the Rogue team anywhere, with total trust. The trip to Kenya was a once in a lifetime experience for me, and not only did it live up to my great expectations, it highly highly exceeded them. Each day was better than the last - we saw and did the most amazing things, all in great comfort with incredible people.

I had been worried about my running level - I’m not the fastest runner - but there were different options and I never felt too slow or like I was holding anyone back.
If I could give this trip - the organisation, the general vibe, the people who were on it - 500 stars, I would. The only problem is that I’m not sure how any other holiday could ever live up to it!”

“I could not have been more thrilled to find Rogue Expeditions. I wanted to travel to Kenya, but didn’t want to be stuck on a catered-to-tourists tour, and the idea of being with active people really appealed to me.

Rogue did not disappoint. The team not only delivered the usual Africa stuff (elephants, lions, hippos, zebras, giraffe), but gave me a flavor of the REAL Kenya — it’s wonderful people, diverse culture, traditional foods, and celebrating running culture with accomplished and friendly Kenyan athletes.

Organization, pre-trip communication, and ad hoc problem-solving was all on point by the unflappable staff, and there were ample opportunities to stray ‘off tour’ on my own.

I’ll be back!”

“I am going to speak specifically to the slower runners who might have the same reservations I did before signing up for this trip. Sign up! I am the old slow runner who hates group runs because I’m always worried I’ll be left behind. There is none of that on a Rogue Expeditions trip. When they say runners of all abilities are welcome, they mean it. Each day’s run has several options and I never felt that I was slowing things up. Heck, even the fast runners slow down to take pictures of the amazing wildlife and scenery. Other commenters will give you an idea of the attention to detail the organizers have, they take care of you like you are family.”

“Kenya was not a new destination for me but I had previously concentrated on the wildlife. I was keen to find out more about the diverse culture and experience the renowned running heritage.

This trip had the culture and heritage plus a whole heap of amazing vistas; mountains, wilderness, lakes and the red roads of Iten. Our local guides were friendly, interesting, talented, enthusiastic, became very quickly an integral part of the group and ensured we got to understand , and see, some of the real Kenya.

Injured part way through the trip and unable to run , my experience was no less rich, there is always a plan B with Rogue and I missed nothing including an unprecedented game drive on which we saw all of the “Big 7”!

Already signed up for my next destination with Rogue !”

“I have done a good bit of traveling (and running) in various countries, but my Run Kenya trip with Rogue was hands down the best trip of my life. I’d been wanting to do an African safari for years and it was definitely an amazing aspect of the Rogue trip, but there was so much more to it than that. Rogue did an incredible job of combining running in jaw dropping locations, local food, and best of all, local culture. Our Kenyan guides felt more like family than guides....and the same goes for our Rogue guide, which was Allison on this particular trip. I can’t adequately put my experience into words, so my best advice is to go and experience it for yourself. No doubt you’ll leave with life changing experiences and memories that last a lifetime....and perhaps even a few new friends.”

“My Kenya experience was beyonds words, and very hard to properly portray it in a review. I had been waiting for a trip to Africa for sometime. It is one of my dreams to touch every continent, and Africa was one of the last ones I needed. I went into this trip expecting a normal African experience, but I was in for a huge shocker. This is one of those trips that are life changing, and effect you on so many levels. Rogue Expeditions takes you on a cultural tour of one of the most breathtaking places on earth. I KIDD YOU NOT!! The animals and scenery are terrific, but on this trip you get to be part of the culture with the people of Kenya. You experience a culture that is slow paced and truly kind people. Everyone waves, and greats you on the street. You can sit down for mixed tea with locals, and hear stories you only read about in books.
The food is beyond words as well. The fruits, and vegetables have such a rich taste that I have never found in the states. You are treated daily to every kind of Kenyan cuisine, and none of it is a let down.
The wildlife is everywhere! We at lunch outside within 500ft of two lions. There are monkeys everywhere, and Giraffes are a dime a dozen. I got so tired of seeing so many lions by the end of the trip.
Running Kenya is amazing! I ran with so many world class runners I couldn’t even begin to count. They ran with us on there 2nd or 3rd run of the day, and did it at our pace. Btw, they all run like 2 hour marathons! I mean all of them!
If you looking for a trip that will dive you into its culture, and let you experience the true essence of Kenya then this is your trip! I can’t imagine someone coming back from this trip, and not being a changed person.
I have to give a little shout out to Allison and Gabe! They are like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Everyone loves PB&J !!They are just the perfect mix too. The guides you have in Kenya “George and Mellie” are some of the best people you will ever meet!
I implore you not to wait on this trip! I am returning in the fall with Rogue, and am making plans to move there. I am so thankful for Allison and Gabe for putting together the perfect African experience!”

“ This trip was fabulous! Simply, Gabe and his staff “get it”. They understand what every traveler (whether you run or walk) is looking to experience: adventure, breathtaking scenery, local culture, fabulous food, and incredible accommodations, provided seamlessly. My only issue is- which Rogue Expedition to take next!!”

“The “TLDR”: If you’re even considering signing up for a trip, do yourself a favor and put down the deposit right now before it sells out! You won’t regret it! �
It’s been a few days since getting home from the 2018 Patagonia trip and I keep finding myself day dreaming about all the adventures packed into those 9 days. This wasn’t the typical “hike/camp through Patagonia for a week” kind of trip - we got the highlights within the park but also SO. MUCH. MORE. From getting up close and personal with whales and glaciers, to climbing “small rises” for breathtaking views, to running through fields with guanaco herds - each time I thought “this will be the highlight of the trip”, I would be blown away by something new! Being surrounded by such an awesome group of running enthusiasts also added to the overall experience!
Some general things to know before you go:
- The RE team has everything planned out meticulously - this isn’t their first rodeo so just trust them completely and you will have the trip of a lifetime. And yes, their suggested packing list is on point.
- You may come away with the best pictures you’ve ever seen of yourself running! If your race photos look anything like mine, then that alone is worth the price of the trip!
I will definitely be on another RE trip in 2019! And 2020, and 2021...etc etc”

“This trip absolutely exceeded my expectations! The trip is organized SO well and the team was prepared for everything! Accommodations were made for all sorts of injuries/dietary restrictions/etc. I loved that I didn’t have to think about anything. Each night we were told what to expect the next day/wear/pack/timing/etc. The hotels were all amazing as was the food. I will 100% be going on another trip with Rogue!”

“Patagonia….. What an amazing experience with Rogue!! Amazing scenery with wow moments around every corner and such a well thought out itinerary showing off the best of everything and making the week an evolving adventure!! Fantastic fun people who looked after us so well. I will be back for another adventure with Rogue!!!!”

“Just finished 2018 Run Patagonia trip, I am struggling to put into words how I feel! This entire experience (communication prior to trip, packing list for the trip, arrangements for early arrival, THE TRIP) all far surpass the expectations I had. I was hoping for a nice enjoyable trip.., I got the best trip of my life thus far! Every detail is thought out for you. Multiple plans are in place to ensure the trip is relaxing and at the same time comfortablely adventurous. Gabe and Allison do a beautiful job including everyone in everything. They make each person feel great about their running ability. You start the trip as a customer but end feeling like family! I definitely see more RE trips in my future!”

“An epic vacation! I couldn’t be more happy with my Rogue Expeditions experience! We saw Patagonia in a truly unique way — getting to do some of both the un and the expected! Whales (within inches!), walking on glaciers, beautiful running trails (views that will stay with me a lifetime!), hiking (same!), sea kayaking, and wonderful food and wine options. Allison and Gabe (and Sergio!) were great at rolling with the punches in a dynamic environment and kept us entertained, safe, and offered enough adventure for everyone. I’ll be back!”

“I can’t even begin to describe how fantastic my trip to Patagonia was. Whale watching where we saw not 1, not 2, but 25 different whales! Hikes with indescribably beautiful scenery. More delicious food and wine than you ever thought possible. The local guides through out the trip are entertaining and full of knowledge, they will become part of your group. I would say this was a once in a life time trip, but I’m already planning my next trip with Rogue Expeditions.”

“I am gonna start off by saying that this was one of my dream places! I love the rugged outdoors, and Patagonia delivers that!
I am three days off my trip, and can truthfully say that was “one hell of a trip”!!! I got to run and explore one of the most remote places on earth, and see places few have seen! I can not begin to describe the landscape. There are no words that could do it justice. I am a avid trail runner, and these trails were top notch! A little bit of everything! Take a little ice. Mix it with some mountains, and trees. Throw in a 50 mph headwind, and some big ass glaciers! That is the perfect recipe for an adventure!!!!!
Rogue Expeditions delivers a one of a kind experience with a very personal touch! Both Gabe and Allison have hearts of gold, and they go above and way beyond anyone’s expectations!
I implore you to go on this trip! Do it now! Not tomorrow! Tomorrow already has a big enough list.”

“Four trips in......and I’m definitely addicted to Rogue Expeditions! Awesome people, places, food and experiences!”

“After an unforgettable trip to Kenya with Rogue Expeditions last year, I came back for more....in Patagonia (Chile). While I could go on and on about what each destination has to offer, the thing that makes these trips so special is the people and the careful coordination from Rogue Expeditions. They have a knack for attracting fantastic people, then they combine it with extra thought and personalization to make it unique for all involved. I’m already thinking about where I will go with them next.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up for a running adventure in Patagonia with Rogue Expeditions but it was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Gabe and Allison’s passion for travel is evident in this well planned trip that took us from chasing whales in the Strait of Magellan to running trails in Torres del Paine. They even accommodated vegan options in the most remote place on earth, and the food was awesome! I could not have picked a better group of people to experience Patagonia with, it was like traveling with friends. Spectacular mountains, glaciers and lakes...what more can you ask for? ...another trip with Rogue!”

“This was the best trip I have taken in my entire life! Any active person will love traveling with Rogue Expeditions and Allison and Gabe. While the trip is marketed to runners, even a casual hiker will find the trip enjoyable and challenging. I loved everything about my trip to the bottom of the world, and plan to go on every international trip Rogue offers!”

“Amazing trip with with non-stop action!
Each run was special and unique with beautiful vistas and countless extras- outdoor BBQ, caves/sloths, hanging bridges, sheep shearing and super accomodations, even the refugios.
Runs were challenging but not exhausting with options for the group.”

“Patagonia was an experience of a lifetime! Allison and the team bring the best in selecting unique places and a robust itinerary so that the trip is optimal to see the world, culture and its beauty. Their connections to local guides, businesses makes the it even more personal and unique that you won’t find elsewhere. Walking on the glaciers was a spectacular feeling while at the same time learning about climate change. Our guides, Sean and Alain were very helpful and knowledgeable of history, terrain and all things on travel! It was challenging but the risk reward was worth it!”

“This was an amazing trip!! Both guides beyond excellence in friendliness, inclusiveness. What a wonderful group, great food and overall awesome! Can’t wait for another one!”

“Nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of seeing Lake Tahoe. The vivid colors, breathtaking views, crystal clear water, and epic trails are the stuff of dreams. Despite only knowing Gabe and Allison ahead of my trip, I was instantly bonded with the other attendees in my Expedition, as we explored Tahoe in what I now believe is the best way possible - by running the trails. From exploring tunnels with amazing graffiti art, to conquering the iconic Flume Trail, to whitewater rafting, Run Tahoe was one of the best trips of my life that continually had me looking around in awe of where I was. The guides handled every detail so that I could relax and enjoy the view. I can’t wait to go on my next Rogue Expeditions trip!”

“If you love exploring and appreciating God’s canvas while hiking, running or walking, then put one of these trips on your list. TWO THUMBS UP for every detail Gabe & Allison rock. The meals, routes, locations, food,& EVERYTHING was WONDERFUL!”

“I went with Rogue Expeditions to Tahoe the summer of 2014 and it was one of the best trips I have ever been on. Allison and Gabe are fantastic hosts, guides, cooks, drivers, running partners and friends. They take care of everything so that all you need to do is show up, run, eat, drink a beer, play games, sleep and repeat! its like a summer camp for grown ups. To top it off you get to leave Austin in the middle of the summer and go some place where you need a jacket....enough said.”

“My husband and I went with Rogue to Tahoe this summer, and we had a blast. The trip was really inclusive for runners of all levels. I was able to do all five of the runs, and I have only run one half marathon in my life. You can run (or hike) at your own pace. The scenery was spectacular, while the lake-side accommodations are very nice. The food was excellent especially the Tex-Mex offerings, which included breakfast tacos. We also got to go canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as hang out on two beaches. I am already plotting to go on one of the Bend trips in 2016.”

“British Columbia was my fifth trip with Rogue Expeditions, and it was first Rogue’s BC trip. Thus, the excitement and anticipation of a brand new destination was combined with the sense of confidence that RE will once again deliver an unforgettable experience. And yes, this trip delivered on both accounts: Bella Coola Valley was breathtakingly beautiful, the trip details were meticulously planned and smoothly executed, and the atmosphere was, as always, friendly, intimate, and relaxed. The running itinerary was challenging, and yet not overwhelming, and everyone’s ability level was accommodated. I left with amazing memories, new friendships created, and old ones rekindled. I can’t wait for my next adventure with Rogue Expeditions!
”

“I’m no stranger to Rogue Expeditions (RE), so while I can confidently say that all of their trips take you off the beaten path, Run BC takes this concept to the next level. I think I can count on one hand the total number of people outside of RE folks that we saw on the trails in BC for the entire trip. This trip embraces true wilderness in a fun “summer camp” sort of way. Sure, we ran through incredible scenery, but RE also added in rafting, canoeing and camping....yet with all of the gourmet food they flew into our camp site, it’s hard to say we ever really “roughed it.” I’d do this trip again in a second.”

“This was my first Rogue Expedition trip - I picked it because it met my needs of wild place + daily trail run + community of runners. It delivered on all that and more. Allison and Sean thought through all the logistics from all the angles so even Plan C felt like Plan A. And despite doing so many trips, they made the whole thing feel personalized and special. Even by the middle of the trip I felt like a local on a vacation with friends. Plus, there was always enough dessert for two helpings :) Thank you! I’m figuring out which trip to do next!”

“This was my first running/adventure trip with Rogue Expeditions. Everything was extremely well organized - accommodation, food, activities. Could not ask for a better group to share these experiences with and really fantastic to have Alison and Sean lead us on a truly memorable adventure in beautiful BC, Canada.”

“Run BC was an unforgettable, breathtaking, beautiful, fun-filled adventure! This ranks as one of my best trips ever. Our guides went out of their way to accommodate every request possible and make a group trip also somehow feel very personal. We went to places most people don’t even know exist. The remoteness and landscape are definitely a key draw of this trip (if big cities are your thing, this might not be for you). The entire trip was wonderfully thought out, both from a pure logistics standpoint as well as the intangible but important balance of relaxation and high effort adventure. I couldn’t ask for anything better and am already signing up for my next trip!”

“The best trip I’ve ever experienced. I seriously cannot wait to go again next summer! The dramatic landscapes of Ireland were, of course, beyond comparison. But, I cannot imagine a better group of guides or fellow runners. The running routes, the food, the accommodations, the constant support were beyond expectations. I learned so much and feel like I made friends from all over the world. Someday I hope to meet Allison and Gabe in person, to thank them for following their dreams! I will be forever grateful to have had this experience.”

“100% highly recommend. Recently got back from one of the Ireland trips and had such a wonderful time exploring that country- I’ve already signed up to receive notification when the Hidden Ireland (Part 2;) trip becomes available. The guides were just fantastic - all 4 were such a blast to spend time with, share stories, and many good miles along the running trails. Allison and Gabe take a lot of time making a trip that every skill level can enjoy - whether you want to do more miles, or sit out a day and rest, you have the flexibility to go at your own pace, while not missing out on any of the adventures. Oh, and BTW, Ireland is such a beautiful country - that was my first international adventure, and I will be going back! Thank you everybody for making such an incredible adventure - can’t wait to do it again!”

“Words do not do service to how incredible this trip was. Every runner should do a rogue trip. The scenery was spectacular, the company was lovely and the running was extremely enjoyable. There wasn’t too much pace pressure and they truely catered to every level. I couldn’t get over how well run this trip was, from accomodation to food, it was such a well rounded experience. If I wasn’t a student trying to save, I would do another trip in a heart beat.”

“We had a fantastic time on this trip. The runs were fabulous, the views epic and we made a whole new bunch of friends. The trip exceeded our expectations. The Rogue Expeditions teams are so knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. They make you feel like part of a big family. These trips are so fun!!!”

“Incredible experience - hands down, one of the coolest things I have done! From the perfect planning and itineraries, to the local flavor and culture immersions, it was an amazing way to see the country and explore different areas of Ireland. I can’t rave enough about Sean, Ciaran, Lorene, and Lorna - they were truly great guides who graciously answered all of our questions, made us feel welcome and supported, and were a blast to hang out with. The runs were perfectly chosen - there was a great variety to make each one feel special, challenging, and to take in new sights. Keep doing what you are doing, thank you!!”

“I’ve been on many Rogue trips and this one was among the best. There were all the elements you expect from rogue - amazing runs, stunning natural beauty, great food and accommodations, expert local knowledge. Along with that we experienced traditional Irish music (and more modern stuff as well) at several pubs, singing and dancing with locals and visitors. The people on the trip were great and many lasting friendships were formed. Just an incredible trip that passed by way too quickly. Can’t wait to go on another Rogue Expeditions adventure!”

“AMAZING. Exceeded my expectations. This was my first Rogue trip and I was very sad when Covid delayed it by 2 years but I am so happy I signed up. Sean and Lorene were the best and I truly appreciated there always being someone in the back with me to make sure I made it to the end. Lorna and Ciaran were so much fun to be around and made the trip so wonderful and easy! I can’t wait to sign up for my next Rogue adventure. Thank you so much Rogue for putting these experiences together and with such ease that we only have to worry about getting to the destination and running!”

“The Hidden Northwest was a trip that I wasn’t sure COVID would actually allow at the time I signed up. I am SO glad it happened. This time to connect with running, with other people, and with myself was so wonderful. You can tell how much thought and care was put into this trip in picking the different runs, the different ecosystems, and environments that we ran. The variety of the terrain, the culture of each place we stayed, and the history that the different regions we stayed was so interesting. RE makes sure that every runner/walker feels comfortable with each route, no matter the mileage and speed, and has a great time through the whole trip. You do not have to be an elite runner to go on these trips. In fact, I don’t think that running longer and faster makes this trip any more enjoyable than the slow and steady hiker/runner. I very highly recommend joining not only the Hidden NW trip, but any trip of Rogue Expeditions.”

“What an amazing trip! I can’t say enough about the beautiful country of Ireland and how running is the best way to enjoy it. Sean and Allison truly made this trip wonderful and encouraged all of us to push past our limits. Thank you so much to them for marking the routes and helping us along through the tough parts. The food and pubs were so much fun!”

“This was a trip of a lifetime. Rogue Expeditions does it right, in every way possible. Each day, the run just got more scenic and the food more delicious. The guides were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Definitely going back!”

“If you can walk you can do this trip, it is for anyone with a sense of adventure and fun !!
Endurance Ireland (clue is in the title) from bogs to exhilarating climbs with panoramic views, every day was different, expertly organised and calmly executed. We scrambled our way to the top of the highest mountain, legged it along the cliffs, and jogged it out along the beach.
Local guides entertained and educated us in folk lore and facts. Cultural challenges kept our brains fresh, even if our feet were definitely not ! The food experiences were perfectly balanced: we took afternoon Tea, freshly baked scones, cream and Jam at the farm, devoured delicious traditional wholesome Irish food in the local pub and (my favourite) tasted local fresh sea catch at harbour restaurants. Much of the food washed down with Guinness and a little Whiskey to end the trip for those that partake :-)”

“Believe the hype in these testimonials. They are reflective of what to expect - thoughtfully crafted experiences by dedicated outdoor and running enthusiasts. It’s not just the running. Allison, Gabe and Sean have put you somewhere you want to be before you knew you wanted to be there. Nature speaks for herself, but these folks bring you to the best bits of the conversation. You will never forget the views for the rest of your life.

But it’s also the running. Just when you think you won’t be able to put up the seemingly big numbers day after day, you do. No chip timing or focus on negative splits or worry about a good workout. In fact you may never run more slowly if only to take in what a stunning place you have found yourself. And then the miles are suddenly complete and you are drinking a pint with a great group of people. Your body goes forward and your heart is light and you can only wonder when do you get to do another trip.”

“I was looking for a way to see the best of Ireland and meet fantastic people and this trip provided in abundance. Each run was gorgeous and unique, and highlighted different aspects of Ireland’s amazing scenery. The guides were wonderful and accommodating and brought a lot of fun to the group; they really care that you enjoy your trip. Plus, I got to explore all this with a dozen other crazy runners like me. Will definitely do another Rogue Adventure trip in the future!”

“AMAZING. Exceeded my expectations. This was my first Rogue trip and I was very sad when Covid delayed it by 2 years but I am so happy I signed up. Sean and Lorene were the best and I truly appreciated there always being someone in the back with me to make sure I made it to the end. Lorna and Ciaran were so much fun to be around and made the trip so wonderful and easy! I can’t wait to sign up for my next Rogue adventure. Thank you so much Rogue for putting these experiences together and with such ease that we only have to worry about getting to the destination and running!
”

“Yet another outstanding trip by Rogue Expeditions! This was my second RE trip to Ireland, and my 8th total with this company. Ireland - The Hidden Northwest totally delivers what what I came to expect from a RE trip: an itinerary covering a number of breath taking locations, carefully designed runs with terrain varying from road runs to at times challenging trail runs, comfortable accommodations, great food, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides and staff, and intimate, friendly atmosphere. Whether you are a seasoned trail runner, or a curious beginner, you will be comfortable with flexible mileage and running plans that can be adjusted to fit every ability level. Your guides are very experienced, know the terrain intimately, and are very attentive to everyone’s needs. No need to worry that you might be over, or under challenged - this is Rogue Expeditions’ fundamental feature - they will always go an extra mile to accommodate every participant, even in a group with a widely varied ability and experience levels. This itinerary truly takes you off the beaten path, and away from destinations filled with tourists. It allows you a glimpse into locales where tour buses rarely venture, but which are arguably some of the most beautiful and unique ones of Ireland. All in all, a fantastic trip, and a true must for any trail running enthusiast!”

“This was a dream run-cation. Mind, body, heart all returned refreshed and invigorated from seeing the landscape and learning about Iceland and its people. Helga and Sean were stellar in their knowledge (and *always* entertained my “I have a question”) and managed the massive amount of details with such grace and seeming ease that I never thought about any detail...just “what’s next today?” Runs were followed by soaks in hot tubs or water slides then followed by site seeing and lunches and dinners that captured the economy and culture of Iceland. It was my favorite combo: running, intellectually stimulating conversation, and learning about new cultures. I lost track of what day of the week it was. Definitely a must, especially if you travel alone (as a woman). Incredibly safe and wonderfully invigorating.”

“This was my first RE trip but definitely not the last one. It was a perfect combo of eyes-grasping landscapes, delicious food and friendship cultivating activities. Thanks to Allison and Sean for putting the trip together. My only complaint is too much food, too tasty and tempting. :)”

“Amazing Experience! Rogue (and Sean specifically) were first class in terms of their organization and delivering a once in a lifetime experience. The trails and landscape of Iceland need to be seen to be believed. The trails were challenging but still great options for less and more experienced trail runners. If you are at all unsure (like I was) all I can say is “go for it!”. You will be very happy you did once you are out there sharing the experience.

Great running, great food, great guides, and a great group of other runners = an amazing experience! Very much looking forward to my next Rogue trip...
”

“Rogue delivers once again! This company thoughtfully plans trips so you can have the amount of trail running you are looking for, along with fun exciting cultural experiences to really feel part of the country you are visiting. Iceland was no different. Some of the best scenery we have ever experienced, and that is because of the extra effort Rogue puts in to get us to interesting trailheads! And to top that off, great food, great accommodations, and great guide team! All our Rogue trips to date have been fantastic, including our recent trip to Iceland! ”

“WOW what a great trip! We’ve been on few Rogue Expeditions adventures and this one was certainly amazing. Organization was perfect, places we got to see in Iceland stunning! Our guide, Sean, was absolutely fantastic and took great care of all of us. Since weather in Iceland is what it is, he had to make some on the go changes, and did that we great humor and superior organizational skills. He truly was great. Our Icelandic guides were both wonderful as well, very knowledgeable about the culture, terrain, history, and adventures we embarked on. We got to see most beautiful parts of Iceland, experience the culture, share into some yummy meals, and have a blast while running. Rogue Expeditions makes each trip superb and full of fun as well as running and adventures.”

“This is an amazing trip. Iceland is incredibly beautiful and this is definitely the way to make the most of your time if you enjoy running in nature. Every aspect was well thought out and meticulously planned. Our local guides were really knowledgeable on the history and culture of Iceland, which combined with their expertise on the running trails, made them invaluable assets. I really enjoyed relaxing in various hot springs after our runs (including the blue lagoon of course) - it helped w recovery from the runs as well as de-stressing from my busy life. It’s very rare for me to be able to completely unplug from work, but this trip made it possible. I only wish there was more time to discover more of Iceland’s hidden gems. But that’s what return trips are for..”

“Wow!!!!! I’ve had my eye on these for awhile but having done one now I’m already planning out my next 2 years! Back for 10 days and still trying to process all the novel experiences packed into our itinerary. We had to move to plan B for one or two of the last days due to rain and this trip still exceeded WAY beyond expectations. Fantastic guides, amazing food, and authentic outings. We were out there in it! 10/10. Would recommend.”

“This was my first trip with RE and it was fantastic! We visited all around the country, running and hiking beautiful volcanos. The RE team are the best people ever! They are professional, kind, encouraging and super fun. I definitely plan on taking other trips with Rogue Expeditions. Thank you for an unforgettable trip!”

“What a wonderful experience this trip was. Beautiful accommodations in every location and great runs that allowed all levels to run/hike each day. Great food and hospitality were found in all locations in Nicaragua. The coffee tour was informative and fun and the beach front accommodations were my favorite. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves on Lake Nicaragua was a truly a magical feeling. The group I was with were fun and easy going. Loved all the little details Rogue looked after and would travel with them again. Highly recommend Nicaragua and thank you to Rogue for welcoming me to this wonderful country.”

“Saw the many hidden gems of this beautiful country. Organization was impeccable as was the food and accommodations. Can’t wait for my next trip!”

“Amazing trip from start to finish! Gorgeous and interesting runs and activities, excellent guides, delicious food and wine, great group of people to enjoy some of the best of South Africa. Highly recommended for an epic adventure!”

“We had an inspired start in the unbelievably quaint town of Stellenbosch, a relaxed , slightly sleepy town in which to lose the jet lag and ease gently into the trip.

We embarked on a week of runs as varied as the wines we tasted along the way. Cliff top miles mixed with woodland trails, gently undulating terrain and single track climbs all featured at some point. I was not overly enthusiastic about the additional rain on day 2 but the waterfalls that resulted were stunning. Loved the canopy tour - a whole different perspective on the forests!

The enthusiasm of the local guides was infectious; they kept us informed and entertained with facts and stories on every aspect of the history, local customs, food, wildlife , geography and wine.

Come having lost a few pounds, you would not want to forgo any of meals: The picnic lunches on this trip are like nothing you have experienced before - think fresh, authentic, varied, vast and catering for all dietary needs.
Making a choice from the dinner menu could be the most difficult task of the day but what arrived never disappointed, I think I developed a taste for Ostrich!

My lasting memory will be - Elephant babies playing by the waterhole pulled out by their mothers trunk, young bulls facing off to each other, small herds majestically striding out in unison across the scrubland....

This trip has a perfect blend of authentic South African experiences, food, wildlife , wines and running....... just do it :-)”

“This trip was amazing! My husband and I had our 4th child about a year and a half ago and finally had an opportunity for a mommy/daddy getaway! It was everything we hoped for and then some. Each day we were blown away with the amazing views, the awesome trail runs, the culture based activities and the knowledge and coordination of both the Rogue Expeditions guides and the South African guides. Having the opportunity to travel to an amazing location, eat great food, explore the wilderness, and not have to plan anything was the greatest blessing. Not to mention that our group was a diverse mix of ages, abilities and backgrounds who all shared of love of good food, good wine and good runs! We can’t wait for our next Rogue Expedition!”

“I read once that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. I never deeply understood what that meant until I took this trip to Morocco with Rogue Expeditions. Over the course of 9 days, we experienced bustling city life, quiet meandering mountain paths, lush valleys, deep gorges and the immense dunes of the Sahara dessert. We ran, we laughed, we ate...and then we ate some more. We met nomads, rode camels and had watched breathtaking sunsets. Best of all, we met each other as strangers bound by running. We left as friends enriched by our shared experiences. Thank you Gabe, Hamid and Sean...I am a richer human thanks to Rogue Expeditions.”

“Book this trip! It took me a few years of watching friends go on these trips to finally sign up. This trip is such a unique experience that is so expertly put together. We got off the beaten path far from any tour bus. Now I want all of my future trips to be with Rogue Expeditions!”

“I’ll need more than 5 stars to rate my “runcation” in Morocco with the amazing Rogue Expeditions crew! It was the perfect blend of culture, running, incredible scenery, delicious food and a great group of like-minded travelers who are now my friends. Looking forward to signing up for my next Rogue Expedition!”

“Wow — Is truly the ONLY way I could describe my experience with Rogue Expeditions in Morocco! Allison and Sean were a perfect duo with the right sense of humor. The trip was smooth, brainless, and the pictures I captured were jaw dropping. Being able to wake up, be fed, have a run already mapped out, and lunch waiting was the EXACT itinerary I dream of. HIGHLY ENCOURAGE all people to experience this.”

“An unforgettable trip of a lifetime!

Allison, Sean, Hamid and team put together an unforgettable trip across Morocco. Perfectly planned, timed out with amazing experiences, I came back with stories, friends and a new found appreciation for this country and its people. The highlight was certainly the day and night in the Sahara, but each day presented an enjoyable, different run with new places to check out. Not to mention, having a fresh, hot, delicious meal from Mohammed after every run was pretty spectacular. Go on this trip. If you’re thinking about it, just do it, you won’t regret it! I can’t wait for my next Rogue Expeditions trip to another place I’ve always wanted to explore.”

“The Morocco Gorges & Sahara trip was my first adventure travel and there couldn’t have been a better trip to kick off this experience. The runs were thoughtfully organized with unique trails for each run, delicious food at the end of the runs, and an incredible support team at almost every mile. Sean and Alain were very knowledgeable about Morocco, the trails, and all things running and non-running. The support team of drivers and cooks was extremely warm, and friendly, and the reason for us having an incredible trip without any snags!”

“I just came back from the Run Morocco – Gorges & Sahara trip, March 12 to 21, 2022.

WOW! What an experience!!!

My friend, Jan, first came up with the idea to do an organized running trip, in an interesting and beautiful country. We researched various offers on the net and chose Rogue Expeditions. Why? Because of their travel destination Morocco (I always dreamed of Morocco!), their tour approach, their trip details and their many positive reviews. So, we signed up early 2021. But, unfortunately, Covid continued and we had to postpone our trip a few times.

Then in mid Feb. 2022, Allison from Rogue Expeditions send us an email update that Morocco would open its borders again. So, we immediately decided to go. Morocco, here we come!

My expectations were pretty high already before we even arrived. But when I reflect now, after completing this trip, each aspect of the tour still exceeded my expectations!

Why did I love this trip and the whole experience? Because this trip was a combination of meeting wonderful, like-minded people (runners) in one of the most fascinating and beautiful countries on earth, with many epic runs in breathtaking landscapes (High Atlas Mountains and the Moroccan Sahara), still with a lot of social time for making new friends, relaxing and enjoying tourist activities, off the usual main tourist route. And, most importantly, this trip was perfectly organized by Allison, Sean, Hamid and their team, at all times!!

In summary, I can only say, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to Allison and her RE Team, for granting me with this epic and magical experience! I will definitely come back for a new tour with you!

I am dreaming already of … Kenya!”

“I traveled alone to a continent I’d never been to to run with a bunch of people I’d never met and had an absolutely amazing time. Everyone was fun and friendly, the places we stayed in were wonderful and we ran in truly awesome locations. Allison, Gabe, James, Hamid and the rest of the Moroccan crew did a fantastic job of keeping everything running smoothly and made sure I had ample vegan food at every meal. I would recommend a Rogue trip to any runner who wants to explore and really experience a new place!”

“This trip was an incredible experience and was planned so thoughtfully from every last detail. Our Rogue team were organized, communicated pre, during and post trip so clearly, and always had everything looked after. The local team from Morocco was so kind, respectful and were great ambassadors and hosts to their country. I always felt welcome, safe and looked after from the entire team. Each location we went had amazing running terrain and views. The food, transportation and accommodations were perfect everyday. If you are looking for adventure, challenge, and fulfillment, this trip is for you.”

“This trip was epic! The itinerary was full: everyday a new run, a new location, a new adventure! There was never a dull moment the entire time. It was truly the trip of a lifetime - everything I was hoping for and more! I will admit I was a little apprehensive to book the trip without knowing anyone else in the group, but I had no reason to worry! The whole group bonded together quickly and everyone was joking around in no time. The trip was very well organized, and the guides were friendly, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. They went over and above to make sure everyone was comfortable and was having a good time. They even helped out with issues out of their control, like tracking down lost luggage! I loved how the running distances were flexible to accommodate everyone, and all group members were supported no matter their experience level. This was my first Rogue Expeditions trip, but it won’t be my last! I’m already dreaming about where to go next!”

“ I just returned home from my 4th Rogue Expedition trip! Second time to Morocco with Rogue and next trip already planned. Two years ago I took a chance with Rogue Expeditions and haven’t looked back.

As always the trip was well organized. The running incredible and the people awesome! I ran more mileage in a week then I have ever done but when your views are breathtaking the miles fly by easily. I’m not sure how Allison, Gabe and Sean do it but every trip is better then the last.

Can’t wait for my next adventure with Rogue!”

“Checklist:
Traveled with a team of well organized guides (Allison, Sean, and Hamid) who curated daily beautiful runs in new terrain each day while feeding us amazing food and housing us in beautiful hotels. YES!

Experienced a culture that unexpectedly created a love for the sound and spiritualness of the call to prayer and the sharing of tea. YES!

Best Trip Ever:) Thank you!”

“Had a blast. The whole trip from start to finish was expertly organized and executed. Getting the opportunity to run with such a great bunch of people in a setting that would otherwise be impossible for me to access was an experience like no other. 10/10 Guys.”

“It’s hard to know where to start, this trip was so wonderful! The scenery, the food, the company.
I can’t recommend Run Morocco enough! I improved my running, inspired by the efforts of Allison and Anna and surprised myself at the amount of miles I could run. The team encouraged, spoiled and looked after us, preparing delicious food and driving us between locations, even performing a mini campfire concert in the Sahara! The accommodation was gorgeous. I’m already saving up for my next Rogue trip!

The trip was so well organised and the effort put in by the whole crew is amazing. Thank you so much Allison, Gabe, Anna, Braz, Hamid and the whole Run Morocco Crew!”

“I had limited expectations when I arrived in Morocco. Foolishly, I didn’t have a whole lot of homework done regarding Rogue Expeditions or Run Morocco. However, I got lucky! From first minute to last I was treated to a really great holiday - care, comfort, weather, scenery, local cuisine, lovely company and some great laughs. I would highly recommend this trip to even those only mildly interested. Go for it - you will not regret it!”

“Rogue Expeditions was truly an adventure of a lifetime and a one of a kind experience. I feel so fortunate to have experienced such a beautiful and amazing place with such wonderful people. Allison, Gabe and one of the new Morocco trip leaders James have helped me cultivate great relationships and make lifelong friends. Our local guides were extremely personable, knowledgable, wonderful & loving people. We were treated like family and felt so safe with our local guides. I look forward to going on my next Rogue Expeditions trip and have already let Allison and Gabe know that they can expect to see me on many other Rogue Expeditions trips in the future. The only down side of the trip was I did not want to come back home and leave all the wonderful new people I met on the trip. If you are reading reviews, you are already interested in a trip like this., SO GO DO IT and do not waste anytime. Take your friends, take your family, make new friends and new family!! I can not wait until I get to see my Rogue Expeditions family again, the countdown has begun.”

“ I admittedly felt a bit underprepared and unsure of what I would encounter during the Morocco - Mountains and Coast trip. A close friend of mine had signed up and it sounded like fun, so I decided to tag along. I remember going to an REI two days before our flight departed to buy my first pair of trail shoes and thinking “shouldn’t you have these already?”

I was underprepared, but not from a gear perspective. The moments which caught me off guard were ones of beauty, and empathy. The Moroccan landscape, and its people, are truly humbling. The pictures on the Rogue Instagram account will do a better job of showcasing the scenery than I can in words, but it’s stunning. https://instagram.com/roguexpeditions?igshid=xwehey002koe Many of my favorite moments though, were with the people we met along the way. I loved learning the Arabic versions of some classic songs in the car with our guides, and being greeted with Moroccan tea literally everywhere. Oh yeah, and then there were the runs. I came back from this trip, after buying my first pair of trail shoes, and decided I was going to run a trail 50k a few weeks later. The runs were unreal.

Long story short - this trip was incredible, worth every penny, and gave me a bunch of memories that will last a lifetime. Can’t wait for the BC trip I have scheduled for this year.”

““This was my very first time with Rogue Expeditions and it was an awesome and amazing trip of the lifetime. Every day is a new running route and it just gets better each day! The coaches and the local guides prepare everything you need to run, stay healthy and enjoy the culture and nature of the country. I cannot wait to run another trip with Rogue!””

“I just returned from my first, and certainly not last, trip with Rogue Expeditions. The experience was amazing and I would highly recommend it. The accommodations and food were terrific, the guides were wonderful and the runs were scenic and exhilarating. On top of all that, I met some amazing people. It was an awesome way to spend a week seeing Morocco.”

“I just recently returned from my second Rogue trip. I had done the Atlas Mountains in Morocco in the fall of 2019 and just finished the Gorges and Sahara Morocco trip last month. First of all, I enjoyed the first trip so much that I came back. This last trip was really amazing. The running and scenery was terrific, especially being in the Sahara Desert. It was definitely not something you do everyday.

The accommodations were great as was Hamid’s staff throughout the journey. It was particularly nice to visit Hamid’s home and meet his family. I also have to say that Sean and Allison were outstanding as the guides. They made everything enjoyable and didn’t lose anyone!

I do have to give particular kudos to Sean for finding me ice cream. I was craving it and we were striking out whenever we hit a store. We finally found a little store that had some toward the end of a run but he even went above and beyond that by surprising us with gelato that he found in Marrakech on our final dinner.
All in all, it was a great adventure with a great group of runners and I will definitely do another trip with Rogue in the future.”

“Went on the Morocco trip last November 2016 and had an absolute amazing time. All of the Rogue team were so helpful and thoughtful in so many ways !! Everything about the trip was planned with a bit of wiggle room to add in or change bits depending on our abilities as runners.

The running was suited to all levels with the team there to monitor and help everyone so slowing down or chilling for a bit when getting tired or sore was never a problem.

Accommodation and and fun on the off days made trip and excellent holiday and will certainly be back with Rogue and all the team again.

Looking forward to the next one, thanks guys!!!”

“Wow. All I can say is wow. I’m sitting here, back home after an AMAZING time in Morocco with Rogue Expeditions and trying to put into words how incredible this trip was. Allison, Gabe, and Hamid have created an atmosphere that allows for adventure, experience of culture as well as rest and relaxation. There is so much value in having Rogue Expeditions as a guide in travel while all I have to do is wake up, make sure my bag is packed for the next destination, and the rest is taken care of. As a working professional, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you for a life changing trip!”

“This trip was about so much more than just running. There were lots of miles to run and get some good workouts in. But the overall experience is so rich everyday, that’s what will stand out big time in my memories. Every day is different, and every night you feel amazed at all that you just did in a single day. We are big travellers and also love to run races while traveling, but there’s no way we could have arranged and planned the incredible experience that we just went through on the Gorges and Sahara trip in Morocco. Would recommend it big time to anyone who likes adventure travel!”

“ If you are looking for an outdoor adventure in an amazing culture with incredible guides, this trip is for you!”

“I enjoy group adventures. I like meeting new people, exploring new cultures together with others, and physical activity. Rogue Expedition was truly special as the whole trip felt like a close knit group of friends from the beginning. And that included the local staff, the hotel staff, and even some local families. The relationship that RE staff built with locals made a world of difference, which is why I am excited and look forward to more RE trips!”

“The seven best runs of my life! Allison and Gabe and their Moroccan crew provided a wonderful, exotic experience immersing us in the local landscape. We had it all–breathtaking scenery, scrumptious food, Saharan music, life-changing runs, and OMG the orange juice!!!”

“People have a tendency to look at me sideways when I told them I went on a “running expedition” to Morocco. And honestly, I thought I might have been crazy, too. But this was without a doubt the BEST vacation. From the guides, to the accommodations, to the chefs, to the scenery, this was an incredible way to be immersed in another culture & really get to relax (yes...relax while running!) & see the countryside. From the High Atlas Mountains to the coast, we got to explore some of the most authentic parts of Morocco, and we’ve made life-long friends to boot!
I can’t even end it with something as cliché as the “vacation of a lifetime,” because I’ll be back for more!”

“It was a fantastic trip to Morocco (Oct 2016): a nice group of runners from all over the globe, excellent running guides, a friendly Moroccan crew (drivers and cooks) that prepared the most delicious meals, good hotels, ...
A fantastic way to combine some country exploration with physical exercise, I can only highly recommend it! A big thanks again to Allison, Gabe, Anna, Braz and the whole group!”

“Allison and her team lead such a wonderful trip. My husband and I recently did Morocco, Oases and Sahara, and it was so well organized. The local guides, Hamid, Houssein, and the local team were so easy going, spoke English very very well, educational, and helpful. Although there is quite a bit of drive time on this trip, Rogue Expeditions did such a great job of making sure we stopped in the cars often to stretch our legs, use the restroom, and have plenty of opportunities to grab snacks, drinks, or souveniers. The running was absolutely stunning, regardless of all the different runner’s levels, speeds, and distances. I never felt unsafe, there was support the whole way. I also enjoyed making friends that I will keep in touch with long after Morocco. This trip was one for the books, with so many wonderful memories made. I highly recommend traveling and running with RE.”

“EPIC experience! Well executed trip, safe and secure at all times, wonderful guides, new bonds, experiences, best running high. I kept saying I can’t believe we are here, right now! I don’t know how it could have been better! So surprise me and I’ll sign up again and again and again…People sign up! Why would you not! What are you waiting for?”

“This trip was all that I’d hoped for and more! It allowed me to explore a beautiful country (Morocco) with the utmost ease. Allison and her team did all the planning so that everyday I just had to wake up, run in a beautiful place, eat delicious food, and then relax with good company and wine in the evening. Rogue Expeditions — I’ll be back to explore other parts of the world with you!”

“This is more like a vacation than anything else I’ve ever done. Not only are you not on a lame tour bus, you get to bond with a small group of people while experiencing the culture like a local in Morocco. If you would have told me pre-trip that I would run more than 60 miles in a week, I probably would have laughed in your face. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you run, I PROMISE. There were two days where I didn’t run at all because I didn’t feel like it. Don’t let the fact that this is a “running expedition” keep you from experiencing this amazing country. Gabe, Allison (and all our guides) - thank you for the best trip I’ve ever had. You guys don’t suck.”

“Words cannot do justice to this awesome experience. The runs were amazing, and the sights rendered me speechless most of the time! It was an epic adventure in every sense, and I will never forget it. Many thanks to Gabe and Allison for a wonderful experience!”

“Warning!! Once you go Rogue Expeditions you won’t go back. The laughs shared, the people you will meet, the expert level of planning and execution that went into this trip… you just can’t find that anywhere else. THANK YOU”

“To Allison, Rogue, and all the amazing people who made this the best adventure in my LIFE, words hardly seems to express how I feel.”

“Words can’t describe my degree of awe I felt during every moment of this “tour”. From being greeted at the airport to each of the challenging runs through staggeringly beautiful scenery, the last ten days will be seared into my memory forever. I’m already planning their Kenya trip for 2023!”

“I just came back from the Run Morocco – Gorges & Sahara 2022 trip. WOW! What an experience!!! My friend, Jan, first came up with the idea to do an organized running trip, in an interesting and beautiful country. We researched various offers on the net and chose Rogue Expeditions. Why?

I am dreaming already of … Kenya!”

“Epic trip, just epic! Allison, Sean, and Hamid have put together an incredible senses opening adventure through Morocco. I am so very grateful for them riding out the COVID-19 closures and am truly appreciative for the life changing time I spent with them, their crew, and the other wonderful runners. I am spiritually still high from this trip and will never come down. This was my first trip with Rogue Expedition and certainly won’t be my last. Thank you, thank you. Yalla Yalla!!”

“The trip was so meticulously and thoughtfully planned. It is not joke to say this is as much a culinary trip as a running trip. This is my third trip with Rogue Expeditions, clearly I’m a big fan! You do not have to be a fast, super experienced runner to enjoy this trip. Those runners will also enjoy the trip though. RE does a great job at making sure you see all the beautiful highlights of every run, even if you don’t do the max distance. The food and wine was such a treat. Maybe I could have planned the Ljubljana hotel and city center part on my own, but there is no way I would have found these cool old farmhouses away from the touristy areas of Slovenia on my own. You get to see so much more than you would planning your own trip! Highly recommend it!”

“An amazing experience. The trails, food, and locations were all incredible. Plus a fantastic group of people. The guides and drivers were friendly, accommodating, and highly knowledgable. Highly, highly recommend.”

“It was a wonderful breath of fresh air! Doing this trip on the mountain trails in Slovenia and Croatia was simply breathtaking. The crisp air, views , rivers and waterfalls were once in a lifetime moments to take in along the trails. The food was beyond spectacular, the lodging was special and you can tell a lot of planning went into making sure we had a great experience. The team took it above and beyond with their hospitality in making the journey a memorable. But above all, Tone and Damo welcomed us warmly into their country, and because of them I was able to appreciate it even more, Filippo was the kindest, patient and swiftest running guide and Captain Kara was embracing , warm and a great leader! You are in good hands with this team.”

“Awesome adventure!! Fabulous food, unique accommodations and all around great people to spend a vacation week with - not to mention the local guides, Tone and Damo made the trip even better!!”

“Run Alpe Adria, my second Rogue Expeditions trip, greatly exceeded my very high expectations. The variety in the scenery, geography, lodging, dining and trails was amazing. One day we woke up on a Croatian island in the Adriatic sea and went to sleep in a cabin in the Slovenian Alps! We experienced so much - wine tasting, river rafting, boat rides, sampling at a culinary market, petting cows and goats. The food was amazing. The trip could have been billed as a culinary tour with a side of running. On top of being a weak runner, I was battling a nagging injury, but accommodations were made for me and I feel I did not miss out at all. The local guides were so fun and a highlight of the trip. Go.”

“All Rogue Expedition people in the group were top notch. The itinerary diverse and interesting. Thank you!”

“The Alpe-Adria trip was a wonderful experience. Gabe and Allison put together an itinerary that took us to the best parts of Croatia and Slovenia . . . rugged coastlines, peaceful lakes, cobblestoned villages, and alpine retreats. The accommodations were unique and the food and wine were delicious! The highlights for me were running through the Bovec valley and across the beautiful Soca River, sitting on the rocks and watching the sunset over the Adriatic, eating all the amazing black truffle dishes at Malo Selo, and cooling off after the runs in the rivers and lakes. Sooo many great memories. Thank you Rogue Expeditions – you’ll definitely see me again!”

“
If you want to see all the tourist things most people see at these destinations, these trips are not for you. These trips are for people who love to run and want a more intimate experience in the countries. I’ve done two trips: Morocco Sahara and Alpe-Adria Slovenia and I love these trips as I’m the kind of person who prefers an active vacation as opposed to sun bathing by the pool.
You run as much as you want but be prepared for sumptuous meals made by locals and nights drinking good wine making new friends. Be prepared for spectacular views whether you are running through small Moroccan villages near the Sahara or by sleepy Croatian resorts on the Adriatic. Accommodations are excellent and the guides provide a close connection to the countries being visited.
Running wise the trips are different with Alpe-Adria having more mountain trails and Morocco having more roads runs. Non-running activities will vary based on the destination. In Morocco there were visits to a pottery co-op. In Croatia we jumped off a boat for a swim in the Adriatic.
These vacations are part adventure, part sight-seeing, and part lavish eating.”

“The Slovenia & Croatia trip was my third with Roque Expeditions. There will be many more with the group. I am so impressed with the travel, the food, the friendships created, (the wine)... and yes, even the running. I have had many of my friends ask me about my last trip and no matter what I say or how many beautiful pictures that I show them, I cannot do justice to the spirit of what we experience. I can’t wait for the next one! ”

“Best time of my life! The food, wine, and views were amazing. I went for the running but I would have stayed for the wine. Perfection! The running was great. Awesome trails. Run Alpe-Adria has the best team and made the whole experience better than I hoped for. Happy to come away with new friends and lasting memories. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you Allison, Borut, Tone, and Damijan!”

“Absolutely amazing trip!!! The trails, accommodations, food, wine and people all surpassed my already high expectations. Each day had just the right amount of adventure and down time for a fulfilling holiday. Pro tip: pack your stretchy pants!”

“Epic day after epic day!!! Allison and the RE Alpe-Adria team are truly gifted and a delight to hang out with! The lodging at each amazing location was beautiful, unique and hosted by extremely talented and friendly folks. Breakfast, lunch and dinner’s were and experience in itself! I was so impressed with our daily intake of great food, grappas, beers, wines and most of all conversation! The daily runs and hikes were so well organized, we never had to think of anything other than have a ton of fun and take lots of pics!!! Thanks for the amazing experience and now to book my next RE adventure! ”

“The Run Alpe-Adria trip with Rogue Expeditions was a dream come true. Every detail was amazing and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. Logistics and carefully planned itineraries were flawlessly carried out by kind, warm, and organized guides and drivers. The scenery, trails, food, wine, accommodations, and hospitality were all top notch. We couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!”

“The Alpe-Adria trip is a runner’s and a foodie’s dream. The best of both worlds in one trip. Beautiful and scenic runs, slow food, and local fine dining experiences - can’t ask for more. The Rogue crew immediately felt like family and friends. I cannot wait to go back on any Rogue trip with them!”

“There’s no one reason I keep coming back to RE for my adventure travel, because you never know what you’re going to get when you throw a bunch of random trail runners together for 5+ days in an unfamiliar environment. But for whatever reason it always seems to work. Partially because runners are some of the best humans there are, but also because of the care Allison and Gabe have taken to plan these trips so well that the only thing we runners have to stress about is getting ourselves dressed and ready for the next day’s adventure. The meals are great, the runs are spectacular, and the company is unforgettable. Just take the trip, you won’t regret it.”

“This trip to Oregon was absolutely fantastic. The views were amazing, the trails were a blast, the food was perfect, and the people were a riot. Allison and team had every little detail planned and the only thing we had to decide each day was how far we wanted to run. All activity was balanced with plenty of rest and relaxation where we laughed so hard, we weren’t sure if we were sore from that or the running. This trip is for anyone, ANY level runner, who wants to run some fun trails, see some incredible sights, and meet some awesome people.”

“From first pickup to drop-off a dream of a stress-free week with every detail planned in Oregon. As a planner I never thought I could go on a trip where someone else takes over all the details, but it was fabulous decision. Many of the small areas you stay in there is no way you could arrange the accommodations without help or knowing a local. Transportation, runs, food, beverages, and local activities were perfect for our group. Several couples and several singles but the group was a perfect fit. How could a bunch of people who like to run go on a vacation and not be best friends by the end? Loved seeing parts of Oregon I never would of found on my own.”

“This is my third Run Bend trip, and each experience has been unique and so much fun! It is amazing to get to see small parts of Oregon and beautiful trails that I don’t get to experience day-to-day. The food was delicious every day. I recommend taking this trip if you’re on the fence!”

“I can’t say enough great things about the Run Oregon trip and Rogue Expeditions. I saw so many parts of Oregon that I would never have seen on my own, ate so much wonderful food, and made new run friends. Gabe and Allison planned a wonderful trip, and are so friendly and thoughtful. It was nice to have someone else plan all the details and just sit back (or run) and enjoy the scenery. I’ve already signed up for my next trip with them!”

“This was one hell of a trip filled with endless fun, amazing off the beaten path adventure, delicious and nutritious food, and mind-blowing photos and memories.

Rogue surpassed my expectations, and made me a fan who can’t wait to book again. The worst thing about the trip is returning back to normal life...yet you come away with new motivation in knowing what is out there waiting. Put the yellow pad plan away...Go Rogue...get exposed to EPIC...and come away knowing life will never be the same.”

“Oh… my… gosh… Rogue Expeditions Run Oregon was truly amazing. Gabe, Allison, and Mallory were very welcoming and knowledgeable. The routes had breathtaking views. Even when plans had to change because of smoke, the alternative routes were equally outstanding. Also, I should add that when I signed up for the trip, I was running more. Injuries happened and I was a bit intimidated because I didn’t know if I could keep up. They had different routes planned for each run so that people can run different mileages while still maximizing fun and views. Just like magic, we all end at about the same time so we can all have a nice picnic together. If there are those who want to rest, they have that option too. The food was amazing (my husband can’t stop talking about Allison’s chicken salad and fruit salad. I miss her cobbler) and more importantly, the memories and friendships made on this trip are priceless.”

“I loved this trip so much I went back a second time. Thought I had seen the best that the Pacific Northwest had to offer and was thrilled to be proven wrong. Willamette and Umpqua Forests are really special (to say nothing of Oregon’s high desert), and the approach that Team Rogue takes to route planning and accommodations adds to the magic. If you’re looking to meet some brilliant people, and truly immerse yourself in a nature (rather than fussing with logistics) for a week, it’s hard to beat a Rogue trip. If lush green forests, zero crowds, and charming hideaways are your jam, consider Run Oregon. Bottomless thanks to Gabe, Allison and Kiana for a really special outing. We’ll be back!”

“Just when I think Rogue Expedition trips cannot possibly get any better, that they cannot find more beautiful and unique destinations, create experiences more magical and unforgettable, they do it again!
Run Baja, the newest addition to RE catalogue of world-wide destinations, is nothing but pure perfection! Having been to a number of RE trips my expectations were already set very high - and were not only met, but exceeded. This trip had everything - white sandy beaches, beautiful mountain trails, turquoise blue ocean, unique, off the beaten path accommodations, expertly guided runs, family-style meals of delicious, fresh farm-to-table food, long nights of easy camaraderie and laughter around a bonfire...

“Rogue OYO is definitely the way to go for a hassle free trip where you want to maximize your runs and see as much beautiful scenery as you can. This was my 2nd OYO trip, and I loved all of the runs, especially the variety of each one. Everything was well organized, down to the last detail. The app was easy to use to help us navigate each route and get us to where we needed to be. Finally, the dining recommendations and non-running activities were appreciated and helped us minimize the time we spent researching, which gave us more time to do the cool activities on the list. I’m looking forward to my next running adventure with Rogue Expeditions!”

““It was a great trip! Not having to worry about researching and mapping out trails was priceless!!! OYO by Rogue Expeditions for the win!!!””

“We committed to trail runs for 4 days, but we could’ve easily done a 7-10 day trip with the ample number of routes provided. I really appreciate that routes were updated to work around trail closures and snow. I also appreciate the detailed instructions for downloading the maps and the tips woven in throughout the instructions. The on your own experience is remarkably easy to do, especially if you have an earbud in which provides turn by turn navigation with audible instructions and alerts if you veer of course. They’ve thought of everything with the on your own experience. It was such an easy and enjoyable adventure thanks to kind folks at Rogue Expeditions. We will definitely be doing another on your own tour next year.”
