      The trip was great, the people were great, and it was well organized. It made the trip to London to run the race very easy and worry free!

      We loved this trip very much. It was terrific to connect with DM team. We also enjoyed the location and the incredible support from the entire DM crew to get the runners comfortable and ready near the corrals prior to our respective start times. Not having to worry about logistics removes a major stress point from the marathon experience.

      Destination Marathons delivered again! Had a great time in London. They took care of all the details and even got a warm room in a hotel near the start line for us to wait in the morning of the race. I had friends who sat outside in the cold for 3 hours while I sat inside with water and snacks. Loved the tour of London and the Tate Modern as well. Can’t wait to travel with them again!!

      Our second trip with Destination Marathons, and it did not disappoint! Another very well organized and executed trip, with great excursions for both the runner and non-runner spouse - we both had a great time in London. We will definitely use Destination Marathons again in the future!

      Hi Stephen, Thanks for the review! We were so happy to see you both in London and even more excited to see you took a few more days to travel Europe after the race. Take care and see you for another race-cation!

      Destination Marathons: A First-Class Marathon Experience in London If you're looking for a way to combine your love of running with an unforgettable travel experience, then look no further than Destination Marathons! I recently used their services for the London Marathon, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Destination Marathons took care of everything. Their friendly leadership team ensured a smooth and stress-free experience, always going the extra mile to make sure my stay was first-class. They handled all the logistics, from securing a coveted spectator spot to cheer on my Wife who ran in the London Marathon to booking my luxurious accommodation at the Sheraton Park Lane, right by Buckingham Palace! The Sheraton itself was fantastic. The location couldn't have been better, putting us within walking distance of many iconic landmarks. But what truly elevated the trip was Destination Marathons' meticulously planned tours. Hopping on the traditional red double-decker buses, we explored the best that London has to offer. From the historic London Tower and the captivating Tate Museum to the iconic London Bridge and the ever-present Big Ben, we saw it all. There's no way I could have packed so much sightseeing into my trip without their expert organization. Thanks to Destination Marathons, We were able to focus on what mattered most – conquering the London Marathon! Their support and organization ensured a truly first-class experience, both on and off the racecourse. If you're looking for a well-organized and luxurious way to experience a marathon in a new city, I highly recommend Destination Marathons!
