And FIT did it again! We had a great trip with FIT in Chicago! This is the second time with the FIT team and we enjoyed every minute of it. Not only we of course loved having the guaranteed entry, but also the hotel location was sooo good, in front of where the start and finish lines were, plus we enjoyed a wonderful boat tour of Chicago and the Saturday brunch was excellent. Can't wait to see you guys again in Tokyo!!!

I really enjoyed my first Chicago Marathon experience thanks to your excellent support! Everything went smoothly without any problems. The hotel was very comfortable and couldn’t have been better — the start and finish areas were so close, which made everything completely stress-free for me. The meals at both the brunch party and the after-marathon party were delicious and well organized. This time, I didn’t join my country’s official tour because it included round-trip flights to and from Chicago, and I wanted to stay longer in Chicago and visit other cities in the U.S. The land-only tour option was perfect for me. I’m already thinking about joining one of your other marathon tours in the future!

It truly was the trip of a lifetime. I can’t stop telling people how amazing the experience was and how I can’t wait to go back. I met some amazing people. The FIT Team is the absolute best.

My trip to Kenya was an adventure of a lifetime. From start to finish Kelly and her team had everything in order. This trip was one in a million and I highly recommend it. I am looking forward to more travels with Fitness International Travel. Kenya was my third trip with them and have one more this year.

By Kelly S for FIT: 2025 Lewa Safari Marathon on Jul 01, 2025

How can I even begin to describe how amazing this trip was? From the moment we landed to the moment we left, everything was absolutely perfect. Kelly had a driver waiting for us at the airport, which made the transition to our hotel seamless and relaxing. Each place we stayed—every hotel, and even our tent—was beautiful and unique. Our travel group was small and intimate, and we all got along so well—it really added to the whole experience. The game drives were unforgettable. We saw so many animals up close, and every day felt like a new adventure. The race itself was definitely challenging, but what an incredible experience! I came away feeling inspired, grateful, and in awe of it all. I highly, highly recommend this trip—truly the journey of a lifetime! Thank you Kelly!!
