Where do you get your kays in? If you’re a runner and a traveller, you’re bound to have run in a few different cities. As it turns out, a lot of runners like to share their jogs on Instagram, and sports website SportsShoes has listed various cities across the world according to how many of the hashtag #Run[city name] each destination has garnered, in combination with a picture of the city.
Here’s how they did it:
