Runners rejoice: Now you can add some of the world’s most scenic jogging routes to your bucket list. A United Kingdom travel company selected five locations as the most scenic five-kilometer jogs in the world.

Exodus Travels, known for adventure trips around the world, partnered with non-profit organization parkrun UK to list its favorite and most scenic places to run. Here’s who made the cut.

Mont Blanc, France

This circuit of the famous mountain in France is one of the best walking routes in the Alps. A series of paths link seven valleys surrounding Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe. Numerous easy trails thread the valley floor of Chamonix with rewarding views.

Cape Town, South Africa

A five-kilometer run along Cape Town’s waterfront, with views of Table Mountain and the ocean, make it one of the world’s best routes. Keep an eye out for seals and dolphins.

Tokyo Imperial Palace, Japan

Jog around the palace’s moat for incredible views. There are also shower stations for storing bags and rinsing off after a jog.

Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Sri Lanka

The country’s impressive landscape gets the star treatment on this route, which also includes views of the ancient fortress near the towns of Dambulla and Harbarane, all on a plateau high above sea level. Experience beautiful gardens and climb the stairs to the top.

Panama Canal, Panama

The famous artificial waterway shows off amazing views of the industrial wonder as well as the Panamanian rainforest.
