Testimonials

Paris Marathon - France

Thank you for a well organised trip. I am super impressed, really I am. Cannot speak highly enough of Travelling Fit. Please convey our gratitude to the Travelling Fit hosts in Paris. They were extremely warm, caring and inclusive. My parents were in awe how chatty they were to them even though they were not doing the marathon. If they ever visited Adelaide - I wouldn’t hesitate in welcoming them. Please please please convey our sincere gratitude to them - and take some of it for yourselves too.

I just want to thank you for everything you did for Brooke and I for the Paris Marathon. It was certainly an experience we will never forget. I did somehow complete the marathon which I was so overwhelmed with. Three weeks out I sustained a plantar fascia injury and was unable to run at all until race day which really impeded on my training and fitness. Three days before flying out I found out I had a malignant cancer in my arm and had that cut out resulting with 25 stitches and lots of medication of which I still had for the marathon and to top it off I had a severe head cold on the day too. My aim of a 3:15-3:30 was never in sight and I struggled over the line in a 4:43, but I finished the race of which I probably should not have run considering I was not medically fit at the time. We were so thrilled to meet the other runners and supporters and our guide Michel, we could not speak highly enough of. Everything went so smooth it made our time and the experience stress and hassle free. Once again, thanks for making our Paris trip an absolute joy

Danny Fraser, VIC

As this was my first international event I was unsure what to expect but found everything extremely well organised and easy, using your service certainly made the whole process quite straightforward and stress free, thanks!

Kimberley Prince, VIC

Our hotel was fabulous...so close to the start and finish.. staff were very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend the hotel to anyone going to Paris. Just great big thank you once again. Paris Marathon was my first ever marathon, and was made more special by sharing the experience with a great group of Aussies.

Sharon Chetwynd, WA

I am very impressed with everything you guys did and being our first trip overseas it was made extremely easy by you. Thank you. You provided us with every service including booking us easy to travel flights, extra accommodation, dinner on the Eifel tower, airport transfers and transfers and dinner at Moulin rouge. I am and will continue to highly recommend you to anyone. We have quite a few running friends who have already signed up with you for the New York Marathon. We will definitely use you again I'm hoping next year. Cannot fault one thing. Thank you so much for making our first trip overseas easy and enjoyable. Love your work.

Looking forward to our next run, working with you on our next run/adventure.

Tony McAlister, NSW

This is a short note from Lisa and I to let you know how much we appreciate your efforts in getting us to events in far off places. You guys rock when it comes to being organised and making sure that we have the best time. I have sent a small gift of thanks for doing a fantastic job in looking after all my requests, changes etc, not only this year but previous years. The advice we receive from Travelling Fit in how to get the best out of our holiday time, and our dollars has been invaluable. We are anticipating heading back to Jordan again next year and will be doing a few extra trips while we are there so will once again rely on your expertise, tolerance of my endless question and good humour.

Polar Circle Marathon - Greenland

The Polar Circle Marathon was very easy to book and organise through Travelling Fit. It surpassed my expectations and the team on the ground were amazing. Heaps of good food. The event was superbly run and had an amazing experience. I also did the post event tour of Illulisat which I highly recommend it. It was simply amazing!

Liza Chin, WA

I wanted to say a big thank you for all your help in getting me to the Polar Circle Marathon. I really appreciated all your help, you were wonderful. It was the most challenging marathon I have ever done and at the same time I had the most amazing experience, I will never forget it!  I am so happy to have completed both races and very proudly received my Polar Bear Challenge medal.

Diana Montoro-Diano, QLD

Thank you so much for getting me to the Polar Circle Marathon. You were very helpful and always quick to answer questions and respond to enquiries. The hotel in Copenhagen was in a good location and had good services. As for the marathon, it was simply awesome, what a great experience! Of the companies I have used I find Travelling Fit the most reliable provider of running tour packages. I’m very much looking forward to running London and New York with you guys next year.

Mark Cooper, QLD

What an amazing experience. I wanted to say a big thank you for helping me get to Greenland and for organising everything so smoothly. Once again thank you and WOW doesn't even start to explain the time I had there.

Sandra Falls, QLD

Thank you and your team for arranging the Polar Circle Marathon tour for me. It was a great event which more than exceeded my expectations. The run itself was spectacular, the guides and support crew in Copenhagen and Greenland were exceptional and the camaraderie amongst the runners from 34 different countries was sensational. I appreciate your help and professionalism.

Prague Marathon - Czech Republic

My Prague experience was sensational, a real eye opener and the Marathon was great to be part of. The organisers here did a fantastic job in running the event. In regards to the accommodation, the location was amazing, I stepped outside the hotel straight into the runners marshaling area which was such a benefit, no belongings to leave, just step outside and be ready to run. The accommodation itself was ok without raving about it however the location outweighed this aspect. I would truly recommend this Marathon to anyone considering, it is a sensational city with a very much favourable Marathon course.

Reykjavik Marathon - Iceland

Great hotel chosen in Reykjavik, the people on the tour were fun, the food and drinks were exceptional and the tours were unbelievable. Travelling Fit presented a very personal approach to visiting another country/continent. I never felt overlooked and in fact felt like everyone meshed well and got the experience they were looking for.

Donn Raymond, USA

Thanks, Mari Mar!  You were always positive, upbeat, supportive and made everybody feel like your most important client!  You're really very good at what you do.  I was particularly moved by your short speech about what TF means to you, combining your passions for running and travel, and your desire to share that with others and help people achieve some dreams.  So thanks to you and the TF team for all your hard work!

Kevin Hanna, USA

"Run the World with Travelling Fit" and you shall never regret it. This experience will never be forgotten. The care and attention put into making sure our every need was taken care of was second to none. The other obvious thing, was that we were made to feel a part of the team even though we were new comers and others had travelled together before. This was due to the warm and friendly nature of Travelling Fit and crew. Thank you.

Paul and Robyn Madigan, QLD

Julian and I were honoured to be part of the first "Run the World" Marathon experience, in Iceland. The organisation, by Travelling Fit, from the time of our first enquiries, right through to the completion of the tour, was exceptional. It gave us the opportunity to visit one of the countries on our 'bucket list' and fulfil a commitment to enjoy running experiences in new locations. The incorporation of tours, accommodation and selected meals in the package, in addition to the entry to the race, made for a total experience to be enjoyed and shared with a terrific group of  like-minded people. We congratulate the Staff of Travelling Fit for developing the concept of the "Run the World" tour and for their hard work and professionalism in arranging the Reykjavik Marathon experience. Thank you.

Christine Walker, QLD

Travelling Fit made my experience of running the Reykjavik marathon truly memorable and a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.  Everything was thought of from local tours, to providing us with a commemorative running jacket to choosing hotels walking distance to the start and finish and taking me to some great local restaurants.  Will definitely be back for the next "Run the World" adventure in Cuba.  Thanks for putting on this package and taking me to a place I'd otherwise probably not visited.

Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon - Nepal

The Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon was by far one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. The Nepalese crew that accompanied us on the trek were very professional and made me feel very comfortable in such an extreme environment. While the trek and event were challenging I would highly recommend the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon to others. In addition to this Nepal and the Nepalese people are beautiful and certainly made this trip memorable. Thank you for all of your assistance leading up to the event.

Amanda Ryan, NSW

Thunder Dragon Marathon - Bhutan

Many thanks to the Travelling Fit, the ground suppliers and race organisers for an unforgettable race experience! The Thunder Dragon Marathon, Bhutan, was the best race I’ve done in 20 years of international marathons. The Marathon package exceeded expectations! The local guides were wonderful, enthusiastic, warm and accommodating in every way. The whole process was made easy and stress free for us. Also, Travelling Fit were patient and extremely helpful throughout the booking process, especially when our scheduled flight was cancelled and they went out of their way to find a solution. Can’t thank you enough!
