Reviews
If you want to truly enjoy your race experience, trip, & ensure your support crew has a worry free time watching you run, then Destination Marathons is the ONLY way to go! Let them handle the details so you can enjoy the journey.
Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure? Look no further than Destination Marathons! My experience with this group was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish, DM provided exceptional service, particularly when it came to race day logistics. Instead of stressing about transportation and navigating the crowds, I was able to kick back and enjoy the ride as our knowledgeable guide led us seamlessly to the starting line. Don't miss out on the opportunity to travel with Destination Marathons - trust me, it's an experience you won't forget!
This was our second Destinations Marathon trip and once again, it was amazing and a good value. The DM team takes great care finding a high quality hotel near the race finish line, and they plan an appropriate amount of activities together while still allowing for free time or the option to come and go as needed. I highly recommend this company. They cover all the bases and are truly fun to hang out with.
My wife and I really enjoyed our Destination Marathons trip to run the London Marathon ! Awesome accommodations at the Sheraton. Afternoon tea was amazing ! The walking tour with Benedict was delightful ! Then had a great shakeout run lead Rey , a charismatic local ! The DM team always delivers a fantastic experience ! Looking forward to my next DM destination!
Amazing time!! Highly recommend! Mark and his team take the race logistics stress away! Had an incredible weekend in Boston! The dinner before race night took the stress of finding dinner in a town where all the restaurants were full. The shuttle gave us an extra hour of sleep and no stress fighting the crowds. Access to our own bathrooms was worth the price alone, when I got to athlete's village the bathroom lines were insane, so glad we had our own! You can tell they are committed to giving you the most stress free weekend allowing you to focus on what you came there to do, race!
Destination Marathons should be your go to provider for every marathon that they partner with. I know I will check with them before booking anything! Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable, they really thought of everything! They took the stress out of the weekend. The hotel was nice and close to public transportation and restaurants. I enjoyed the shakeout run to the finish line. The meal the night before was delicious. The best part was the coach bus to Hopkinton! We stayed warm and had a bathroom before walking to the shuttle to Athlete’s Village. I met some amazing people that I will keep in touch with long after my soreness departs. I know I said I was done marathoning, but Berlin might be in my future, and I will only do it with Destination Marathons! Thank you so much Mark, Nicole, and the whole rest of the crew!
Destination Marathons did an excellent job!!! It was my first time booking a trip through them and I am 100% pleased!! I’m already planning another!! The whole process was easy, the communication was clear, the accommodations were perfect, the gatherings (parties) were really fun!!! Everything was on point. Thank you DM!!!!
Have you ever wondered how the Elite Runners are treated? Run with Destination Marathons and you'll find out! I ran the Wilmington Marathon in 2022 with DM and from Hotel Check-In to Check-Out they were there for me. The night before the race we had a great pasta dinner as a group, runners and family, and it was nice to catch up with people from all over. Race morning we boarded a private shuttle to the start where we also had a warm private area to get ready. Of course the crew along with family and friends were on the route for a nice friendly cheer zone. Post race they were ready for us, tons of snacks, drinks (adult and other) and a masseuse! It is great to get a solid massage right after the race. That afternoon they led us on a pub crawl to several different locations around Downtown Wilmington. When traveling for a race I would highly recommend Destination Marathons so you can worry less and focus on your race!

By using our services, you acknowledge and agree that you will not engage in any attempts to evade, avoid, or bypass any refund restrictions associated with your purchased travel booking. This includes refraining from contacting our company directly in an effort to obtain a refund, or seeking a “chargeback” from your credit card company. Once initial travel is booked, we will refrain from altering payment methods or generating different invoices, as doing so could potentially modify the information required by travel insurance companies.
