Starting a brand new year can often be about setting new goals, pushing new limits, and bettering yourself—whether as a parent, runner, employee, student, or friend. But shouldn’t setting new goals also be kind of fun? When every item is checked off on the priority list, shouldn't there be something waiting for you at the end? The holiday season may technically be over, but that doesn't mean you can't treat yourself—and your families or friends—to a new adventure in 2018. And because you're a runner, shouldn't you make that an awesome destination race? Read More
Congratulations to all Antarctica Marathon Finishers! Read More
Thanks so much for organizing the Cuba Marabana trip. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and you made all my experiences absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed all of the cultural experiences, and all the support for the Cuban people!
Experiencing a new culture steeped in ancient history. Interacting with (shock) individuals like myself, hearing their stories, learning from their cultural and race experiences outside of the US. Confident that the Marathon Tours staff was there as a safety net. Thankful that Marathon Tours booked a hotel with a grand breakfast buffet, including race day morning special. Grateful for the Marathon Tours staff for guiding us to the buses for transport to the event start.
