I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sports Tours at the Kiawah Marathon! From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-organized. The resort and accommodations were fantastic – comfortable, luxurious, and perfectly located for race day. The team at Sports Tours was incredibly supportive and went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Their guidance and encouragement made a huge difference in my race weekend experience. My family joined me as spectators, and we all enjoyed the weekend together. It was great meeting other runners and their families, sharing stories, and cheering each other on. The whole atmosphere was so positive and welcoming, making it a memorable experience for everyone. I highly recommend Sports Tours for anyone looking to participate in the Kiawah Marathon – they truly made this event a standout experience! Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable weekend!

Fabulous time with Mark and his crew! He went above and beyond the call of duty ! It’s the highlight of my running journey coz i finished 50 states marathon with them. Mark n Rashawn took care of me by taking lots of photos at the finish line complete with balloons 🎈 and banners. They offered me food and drinks. So grateful and appreciative of everything they did for me! I felt like a movie star ⭐️ They also gave me gifts to commemorate my achievement! Thank you so very much . I highly recommend sports tours international and Mark Janik

Mark and his Sports Tours USA group were phenomenal. All I had to do was get to Kiawah and run. The dinners and breakfast bag were great, Villas were amazing, staging area was perfect and post race massage made it so I could walk again haha! I would do this again in a heartbeat!

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!
