If running was just about going as fast as possible then we would all be road runners. But, says Robbie Britton, why not see trail races as holidays in their own right?
The North Face Cappadocia Ultra Trail (CUT) is located in a region known for its troglodyte dwellings – hand-carved caves dug out of the soft rock in central Turkey. Looking out, it may seem that there is just an arid landscape, but as soon as you venture into it you find hidden valleys, full of lush vegetation, caves, tunnels, rivers and trails, all begging to be explored.
I have stayed in a few caves in my time, in the Arctic Circle, the Canary islands and elsewhere, but none have been as luxurious as those in Cappadocia. The Kayakapi Premium caves were like a five-star hotel built into a piece of history in Urgup, where the CUT starts and finishes.
