Your Pyrenees escape begins with a group pick-up from Barcelona Airport or the city centre in the afternoon, followed by a scenic drive into the mountains. Once you arrive at the villa, settle in with welcome drinks and light snacks on the terrace before getting to know the rest of the group. As the sun begins to dip behind the hills, we head out for a gentle shakeout run straight from the villa. The evening wraps up with a family dinner, relaxed games, and introductions.
Daily Distance: 5-6km
Enjoy a slow, easy morning at the villa to connect with everyone and relax. Late morning, we make our way to nearby Gironella for a scenic tempo run along the El Llobregat river, a flat, flowing pathway perfect for finding rhythm and building community. Afterward, we refuel with lunch in town, and some friendly competition with a padel tournament, before heading back to the villa for a relaxed dinner.
Daily Distance: 6-10km
We rise early for the highlight run of the trip: a loop around the famous Pedraforca mountains. This route circles one of Catalonia’s most iconic peaks, weaving through pine forests, rugged trails, and serene alpine meadows. After a well-earned lunch and reset at the villa, we travel to Montserrat to visit its famous cliff-top monastery. Wander the grounds, take the cable car up to the higher viewpoints, and explore this unique landscape.
Daily Distance: 15-18km
The day begins with a refreshing easy run from Berga, following a historic greenway lined with mountain scenery and quiet countryside paths. Afterward, we head up to the Santuario de Queralt, one of the best viewpoints in the region, with lunch in Berga to follow. The afternoon brings time to rest, recharge, or prepare for the final evening. We celebrate our last night together with a family-style dinner, group photos, and our end-of-trip games.
Daily Distance: 5-8km
Your final morning begins with a relaxed sunrise run from the villa – an easy chance to shake out the legs one last time. After a light breakfast, we check out and transfer back to Barcelona for the late morning, with new close friends that started out as strangers.

RUNHAUS trips are designed for people in their 20s and 30s who want to combine travel, running, and meeting new people in a relaxed but active environment.
This trip hosts around 18-24 guests – small enough to feel personal, big enough for a community.
Yes! Before departure, we’ll open a group chat so you can meet everyone, ask questions, and get excited for the week.
Yep! We always offer multiple dates around the same period at the same villa.
No – flights are not included. This gives you full flexibility to choose the airports, times, and prices that work best for you.
The trip has a clear structure, but plenty of downtime. You’ll run, explore, and eat together – but also have hours each day to unwind, swim, nap, or enjoy the villa.
Prices vary based on room type e.g. a shared twin room costs less than a private room at solo occupancy. Once the trip is live, all prices will be available.
Not at all! Everything included in the price is clearly listed. Optional add-on activities and meals not included will always be communicated upfront.
Expect a mix of scenic road routes, coastal paths, forest trails, and viewpoint climbs – each handpicked to show off the best of the destination. All days include one guided run, ranging from 5-15 km, with optional extra runs for those who want more. Some days are easy shakeouts, others include tempo sections or gradual trail climbs, and there’s always the RUNHAUS interval session to push each other further.
Our trips are welcoming and supportive, but they are running holidays – not beginners’ retreats – and are designed for the regular runner who trains consistently. You should be familiar with longer distances, comfortable running in warm temperatures, and tackling light elevation. If you can run 15km at an easy pace, and usually train a few times per week, then you’re ready. Faster runners will have space and encouragement to push; steadier runners won’t get left behind.
Each trip has its own selection of routes; forest trails, coastal paths, mountain viewpoints, road routes, and local town loops. Expect a mix of terrain and scenery throughout the week.
Absolutely. Most, if not all, runs will have two guides – allowing for different paces and ensuring everyone is supported.
No – all runs are completely optional. Our routes are designed to suit a wide range of abilities, so you’re always free to take it easier, walk instead, or sit out a session entirely. It’s your trip, and you can choose what feels right for you each day.
The daily distance refers to the planned run length for that day, and doesn’t include any additional hiking distances. Many runs do not have a fixed distance because they’re designed to be flexible – allowing each person to choose the pace and distance that suits them, while still starting and finishing together as a group.
Once your place is secured, we’ll send you a detailed guide with recommended flight times that align with our pick-up and drop-off window.
We’ll share exact meeting points for both the airport and city pickup locations closer to the trip date but in plenty of advance. There will be a pick-up at Bologna airport in the afternoon, and then a quick pick-up in Bologna city centre afterwards.
We’ll send you a full packing list, covering running kit, villa essentials, and optional items depending on the activities available once booked in
Rooms are assigned on arrival based on your booking type and a pre-trip questionnaire you will be asked to fill out once your spot is secured.
You’ll share with another guest of the same sex who has a similar profile based on your questionnaire. We do our best to pair people thoughtfully.
If there are any issues, speak to us. We’ll always try to find a solution that makes both guests comfortable.
Most rooms share bathrooms unless the room is specifically listed as having an ensuite.
Most meals are included and served family-style: big villa breakfasts, build-your-own spreads, fresh Mediterranean ingredients, pastas, grains, salads, fruits, meats, cheeses, and plenty of snacks. Our aim is simple – good food, lots of it, shared together.
You’ll have the chance to explore local restaurants for those meals. We’ll provide recommendations and coordinate group options.
Yes. You will be able to let us know on your booking and we’ll reach out before the trip to confirm details. We always ensure there’s plenty for you to eat.
We don’t supply drinks as part of the trip, though water is always available at the villa. You’re absolutely welcome to buy your own drinks and bring them along; just note that fridge space may be limited! Alcohol isn’t provided, but it’s not discouraged. If you’d like to pick some up, the trip leads will help coordinate a stop or group purchase once everyone arrives. Enjoy responsibly, relax, and make the trip feel like the one you want.
You can secure your spot with a deposit. The remaining balance is due three months before the trip.
Prices depend on your room type. Double rooms (solo or shared with a friend/partner), shared twins, and different villa layouts all have different rates. Full pricing is shown when each trip is live.
Yes absolutely – your money is not touched until your trip is completed. Please see our full terms and conditions for details.
