Traipse Reports – Trips and Races

International Travel and Running Race Reports, with bad puns and a lot of alliteration

Traipse Reports

Traipse Reports is a compilation of trip reports and race reports. I thought it sounded better than Tripe Reports, and Rape Reports would be even worse. So traipse it is.
