"This was my first marathon experience with Marathon Tours & Travel and it was excellent..." - 2024This was my first marathon experience with Marathon Tours & Travel (MTT) and it was excellent. A high quality hotel with access to breakfast each day and a nice pre-race dinner was invaluable to my pre-marathon preparation. Transportation to the start line/corrals was also excellent. I ran a personal best in London and I truly think that MTT played a part in my performance! Not having to stress about essential meals or transportation was so helpful.
"Traveling is hard enough and stressful so..." - 2023Traveling is hard enough and stressful so having your amazing team do all the hard work makes my life and marathon so much more enjoyable!
"This is my third trip with Marathon Tours & Travel..." - 2023This is my third trip with Marathon Tours & Travel and am always impressed with the thoroughness of the pre-trip planning and dissemination of information.
"Running a marathon in a large city..." - 2023Running a marathon in a large city, especially a major, can be isolating and scary given all of the moving pieces. Marathon Tours & Travel takes those fears away and makes the entire experience enjoyable.
"Our overall experience was excellent..." - 2023You make it easy and take the stress out of doing an international marathon. Thank you for that. Our overall experience was excellent. And MTT does a great job picking really good hotels in outstanding locations.
"Being part of this Abbott World Major..." - 2022Being part of this Abbott World Major and making friends with other runners = Priceless! I also appreciate how Marathon Tours makes it so easy to participate by taking care of registration, finding ideal lodging, breakfast, and dinner the evening before, and getting us to the expo and the start of the race.
