Run and travel. The passion for 'running' and tourism in contemporary Argentina
by Gastón Julián Gil
International Journal of Tourism Anthropology (IJTA), Vol. 9, No. 1, 2022

Abstract: The activity of running, as it is usually called by its enthusiastic and highly-engaged practitioners, constitutes not only a sport but also a lifestyle that is characterised by the adoption of a broad set of ethical and aesthetic precepts that transcend mere physical exercise. In Argentina, it entails a wide variety of experiences that, for certain types of 'serious' runners, serve to define such a lifestyle. In this paper it will be shown how trips are precisely one of those defining experiences, and how such trips demand an intense tourist planning to runners and their eventual companions.
