Unfortunately our contract with most races, particularly the 'in-demand' races do not permit us to offer the race entry without accommodation / or other travel services. The only exception to this would be the Comrades Marathon.
We are happy to take on the pain of planning your travel and handling the logistics so that you can focus on your race. You will also get to meet like-minded runners and enjoy strategically located hotels. Our marathon groups are an opportunity to network with runners from all over the world.
Our travellers come from all parts of the world. Some like to extend with more touring and sightseeing, others prefer to book online and at times they even like to use their miles for discounted travel. It is always easy to add flights and we can do so if you would like us to, even if our marathon trips are priced on ‘land-only’ basis.
As long as your companion doesn’t mind, we don’t! Since our marathon trips are all about combining the love of running with the love of travel, there’s enough touring and general activities including making them fun for all travellers. Some companions even opt for running shorter distances. If you want to take your family and children along – we can recommend some races to fun destinations.
Yes, if you want to save on a single supplement – you can book on twin share basis and we will pair you with another runner of the same gender who is also booked on twin share basis. While we do our best, we cannot guarantee that we will always find you a room-mate.In the rare instance that we do not have another runner we can pair you with on the trip, we will let you know your options in advance. In case of hostel stay, the dorms are mixed gender. If you are travelling with friends who are booked under a different reservation number please ensure you mention this on your booking form.
Absolutely! Our race packages include stay at well located properties and other services. Apart from this, we can tailor-make your trip to extend pre or post the trip. We offer this service to those who have either already registered for the race with us or those who have paid the ‘Custom Trip’ charges.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Many consider the half-marathon distance the perfect blend of challenger and joy and it is for this reason that many race events include these. And running shorter distances is even more fun when you are on vacation! Come along and join the fun.
