Learn what some of our runners have to say about our tours.
Not sure?
You asked, we answered
Here’s our frequently asked questions
Never run a multi-day event
Many of our runners had only run a marathon. Follow our Ultimate Training plan and get yourself ready in 20 weeks. It’s definitely achievable
Like a bit of comfort
Our runs take us through 7 countries in a coach, and at the end of each, you are welcomed into a specifically chosen hotel with a planned dinner and breakfast taken care of.
Traveling is fun with family/friends
We recognise that travel is fun with family, whilst we promise you will make many friends on our tours, sometimes you just want to bring a +1
My life is super busy
Our training plan works with your busy life, keeping long runs for the weekend and incorporating a lot of cross training during the week. Swap out the train for a bike ride or take an early morning swim.
Reducing our carbon footprint
We work hard to reduce our impact on this stunning world so we travel between countries in 1 coach which means our numbers are limited to enable this.
How big are these tours
We like intimacy and getting to know people so we keep it small. Our groups are made up of around 20–25 people which is the perfect size for getting to know each other.
