this is your answer --- look up the training camp there as well as the numerous running options including track, trails, lakes, all at different altitudes
world class facilities available is very unusual for this kind of setting

Here is one I don't hear mentioned, but deserves a look: Chattanooga TN. I lived there recently for 4y, and from downtown, it is less than 20 minutes to miles of great trails on Signal Mountain, along with accessed basically from the high school property. Plus the high school track is open, and in a beautiful, wind protected setting (right at the head of the trails). Housing is pricey on Signal, but affordable in other areas. Also, an hours drive in almost any direction gets you access to so many forest trails you'll never get bored.

Except it isn't outside the US as was mentioned by the original poster.
Quite a few places in Canada (in general, the further north the cheaper it gets) would probably fit the bill. Places like Valemount and Kelowna in BC. Sure you could find some cheap places in Manitoba or some of the plains provinces as well.

Considering that a lot of Kenyans have been busted for EPO while living at 7,000 feet, I'd say go higher and train with an oxygen mask for the hard workouts.

If you can find a cheap way to live there, St Moritz and the Engadin Valley in Switzerland is hard to beat. Dirt roads everywhere, no car needed, altitude, sporting culture.
Keely Hodgkinson training group has just arrived there for altitude training.
