The majesty of running in a place as spiritual as Uluru is indescribable. Though I am still shaking red sand from my shoes, the experience and wonderful people I have met along the way is not one I will soon forget!
4th trip with Marathon Tours, will book again. Love the combination of adventure and opportunity to meet people from around the world!
Incredible scenery, warm and friendly people and an exceptionally well-organized event combined to create a trip of a lifetime.
I can't say enough good things about Ann and Jane. Well organized, knowledgeable and you can tell they are passionate about Rio.
It's a top quality experience. I know Marathon Tours & Travel does a great job at selecting the best hotels and tour guides. This was certainly true for Rio.
Spectacular. The run of a lifetime.
I had never been on safari before so my expectations were through the roof. We saw so many animals and the rangers all seem to have eagle eyes, spotting animals for us. They were so great about stopping, getting the vehicle in a good position for pictures etc. and just so knowledgeable about the wild life.
The support leading up to the tour was stellar. Ann Haebler seemed always available to help with something or answer a question. The venue sells itself, it is an amazing package for anyone looking to do the marathon - so many safaris included, we really did manage to see most of the animals.
I’m looking forward to my next adventure with Marathon Tours. I will go just about anywhere!
The Big Five Marathon package offers a brilliant adventure that will challenge even the most seasoned runner but will result in a lifetime of wonderful memories.
I loved the whole trip. I never would have thought to go the Easter Island if Marathon Tours had not offered the trip and I am very glad I did. My favorite part of the trip was the whole day tour on Easter Island, the Moai were amazing.
I loved the peace and spiritual aspect of Easter Island. So remote, beautiful and quiet. I appreciated Jacqui's ability to make each and every person feel very special and customize the experience. She is a great guide, and has a wonderful sense of reading people that is indispensable.
Everything on this trip was excellent!! The guides at each location were very informative as well as personable. I loved Jacqui, I can not say enough good things about her!!!
I really appreciate the location of hotel to start/finish line. Knowledge of staff relating to marathon details. Jane was extremely efficient and always ready to help out when called upon. She took the initiative to make things better for anyone in need of support.
Marathon tours did an excellent job in selecting Barcelona as one of their race-cation, selecting a hotel that is both convenient and safe, and having a staff service making sure we get our affairs in order so we can really enjoy the trip. I love the route, I think it’s better than Paris Marathon route as we really toured city on foot. The locals were friendly at stores, restaurants or just merely asking for directions. I would love to go back to Spain.
Staying on the coach in the athlete's village. We were warm and dry. We chatted comfortably with new friends. We had the best possible pre-race experience. I liked the location of the hotel to the finish line. With the weather so terrible, it was great knowing I only had to walk two blocks back to my room.
The best part of this trip was seeing friends from Rome/Paris last year. Similarly, I really enjoyed seeing Jane again. We first met in 2016 in London. The whole experience was warm and friendly. Barcelona is a wonderful city, too. I'm glad to see that you offer it again.
Having Scott & Marathon Tours take care of all the details. Scott is a pleasure to work with - friendly, dedicated, responsive - a true professional. Thanks.
Awesome. The run was incredible and very well-supported. Marathon Tours made it all so easy, taking care of all the little details so we could just enjoy ourselves. I would never try to do a trip like this on my own.
Loved the course....it was difficult but so so so enjoyable....the scenery was spectacular... the single track was FUN! Course markings were excellent, rest stops plentiful.
