04 / Los Angeles

“Los Angeles can serve as a reminder that real vitality always had to confront a divergent reality. It continues to draw an active counterculture willing to beat its own path against the traffic just like in the past. Progressive runaways in the footsteps of those seeking to free body and mind. People who don’t just want to fit in, but rather find what makes them mindful in a blindly spinning world. Los Angeles continues to be a lab for modern ideas, maybe more so than ever because it has to. Chasing happiness on revolving rubber or in digital illusions does not really work, even in HD. We found some alternative answers right on this city’s tarmac. They won’t solve all our problems but at least they are a step forward and not a dead end. Welcome to Los Angeles.”

“Running is one of our primal activities besides eating, sleeping, and sex. For survival, humans had to both chase and escape. Runaway started 2018 by exploring the latter. After searching the souls of two of our favorite cities, we felt it was about time to search our own. While the West used to carry the promise of a new age for all seekers of alternatives, Runaway is heading east from Brooklyn—time for a new direction in a changing world. Right across the ocean in Portugal we found a great spot for more than California dreaming. While the sheltered Mediterranean draws people who are ready to retire, Portugal's windswept Atlantic Coast is perfect for those who need space to breathe. It not only produces some of Europe's biggest waves and has helped define a unique country, it’s also a great place to run.”
