Great Wall Marathon - China

Our tour has almost come to an end. It was wonderful meeting Travelling Fit on the ground! The whole marathon experience was incredible - beyond expectations! Everyone was so friendly and encouraging. Leo and Frank did a great job keeping us informed and together! We met so many fantastic people and made what I'm sure will be long term friendships as well as a life-time of memories.

I used the services of Travelling Fit to book my tour to the Great Wall Marathon in China. Right from the start, Travelling Fit were more than helpful with answering any questions I had about the itinerary options, right down to booking my flights and even calming my nerves prior to the event. Even though the trip was all about completing the Great Wall Marathon, i felt that the whole tour provided me the opportunity to capture so many amazing highlights of the country. The accommodation, mode of transport, restaurants for meals and optional tours offered were amazing. Great choices by Travelling Fit and the local guides. I am looking forward to my next adventure with Travelling Fit - I highly recommend the company from beginning to end. Thank you Travelling Fit for making my first real overseas experience so EPIC...

Thank you Travelling Fit team. Your inspirational in your attitude, friendliness and care. I appreciate that you make the supporters feel as valued as the runners and that you take the time to get to know everyone. You’re amazing people.

It was an absolute treat to not have to plan anything or worry about anything. Very efficient and well organised and coordinated. Just be wherever at whatever time....no thinking, just enjoy. Travelling Fit staff, you were so lovely, caring, friendly and fun.

The Great Wall Marathon was my second trip with Travelling Fit, Paris Marathon being my first in 2014. I cannot praise Travelling Fit enough prior and during our trip, all questions were answered quickly via email or the FB page and the FB page was a fabulous way to get to know others prior and share tips. The Travelling Fit staff in Beijing were always there ensuring all aspects and details were covered daily, our Beijing guides Leo and Frankie were extremely helpful and knew the answer to any questions we asked. I loved every aspect of my trip and will hopefully be able to book another with Travelling Fit in the near future.

Travelling Fit exceeded our expectations with The Great Wall Marathon tour. It was our first with Travelling Fit and we couldn't have been happier. We saw so much, experienced more of China than we could have alone, made some great friends and we conquered the wall! We are already looking forward to our next Travelling Fit Adventure!

Kylie Royal Meehan, VIC

The Great Wall Marathon was an amazing experience and I will cherish the memories for the rest of my life.
I would highly recommend any runner to use Travelling Fit when they consider doing an Overseas Marathon. The service from the Travelling Fit team from time of booking to when we were in China was remarkable and they were really helpful. Thank you for all your hard work and keep up the good work. I can't wait to do another trip later on.

I just want to say thank you for a fabulous week in China.  I would not be lying but it was probably the best week of my life, I loved it. Thanks to the Travelling Fit representatives, our tour guides, bus drivers and anyone else who made it possible. To be honest when I boarded the plane in Brisbane I was shaking, I was like a 14 year old going on first date.  I met some fabulous people, made new friends. I will be meeting you again I don’t know when yet, most of our group spoke about doing wall again in two years time. All the best

Vahid and I would like to thank you very much for your superb/hard work prior and during the Great Wall Marathon tour in China couple of weeks ago. We had the most amazing experience of our life and without your great effort/help it would not have happened. so thank you, you should be very proud of yourselves; we are!

Enci & Vahid

The whole experience was unreal! The Travelling Fit crew were amazing, fun, super professional and great support cheering us on as they saw us all cross the finish line. The tips given in our Travelling pack were very useful. The tours and guides were excellent. I had a great time! Thank you!

Ana Caroline Kraucher Viles, NSW

The whole week was a fantastic adventure. It's the first time I have done a trip like this and it was really nice to share it with people that all had a common goal. As hard as the run was I just love the wall and really appreciated the Travelling Fit folk at the finish line. Thanks to you all.

Diana Massey, SA

I would like to say a big thanks to the Travelling Fit crew. They went out of their way to make sure we all had what we needed. It can't have been easy, particularly with the flight delays in getting to Beijing both for us runners and also for them. They were always available to us when we had questions, comments or requests. The trip to China and the Great Wall Marathon were incredible and it was something that will stay with me forever.

Joanne Cleaver, WA

We just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful experience of our trip to China and the Great Wall. We enjoyed it thoroughly and had a fantastic time. Thank you again for your professionalism, friendliness and kindness it was an amazing experience that we will never forget.

Sharon Jones & Bill Angus, WA

Thanks for all you did in organising such an incredible and smooth trip to China! What an amazing experience! Appreciated every second and travelling with you guys made this an unforgettable experience. Will remember this for years to come! Looking forward to the next one!!

Kate Ridge, NSW

Thank you so much for everything you did for Dave and I in the planning, organising, chasing accommodation and booking for our trip to China and Singapore stopover. Our holiday would not have been as perfect as it was without your help. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in China and as well as the breathtaking Great Wall run the sightseeing you organised was just so much more than we could've hoped for. Thankyou 🙂 Our stopover stay at Marina Bay Sands was simply incredible. I don't know if I have the words to describe how wonderful a time we had there too. Paying the extra for the Club Room was also worth every cent. If anyone ever asks you about it, a high recommendation from us is an understatement! It was the perfect end to what Dave has described (to everyone we have talked to so far about our trip) as "the best holiday we have ever had"

Laura Tolson, QLD

It was a real privilege to be able to participate in the 2015 a Great Wall Marathon. Although the run up the Wall was extremely tough, it was also exhilarating with spectacular views and incredible scenery. It was also great running through the villages and getting to 'high five' the young children lining the track! It also gave you a real lift whenever you saw another runner in their Aussie 'Travelling Fit' top! The local guides were excellent and looked after us very well. We had read and heard some horror stories about travelling in China ... however our entire trip went very smoothly and we were always very well looked after. We were pleasantly surprised that most of our tour group were just ordinary, normal people like us ... who just happened to have the courage to get out of their comfort zone and attempt something extraordinary! We were very fortunate to have so many friendly people in our group. Many thanks to the Travelling Fit crew for their friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism in helping fulfill my dream to run the Great Wall.

Havana Marathon, Cuba

The Cuban trip was fantastic. I loved it! I have wanted to go to Cuba all my life and I would describe the experience as a holiday to Cuba with a 26.2 run/walk included. I wasn’t sure that doing the tour before the race was the best idea, however I’ve changed my mind on that. It gave us all a chance to get to know one another and to bond well before the race. It was heartwarming to be cheered on halfway and at the finish by a bunch of Aussies who felt like friends. Thank you for an amazing experience. We couldn’t have been in better company and the Aussies on board were really good fun with some really awesome running accolades between them all. I was very glad to have the WMM medal behind me so that I can start to enjoy the adventure/holiday run!

Kangaroo Island Marathon - Australia

Thank you for your help in the run up my Kangaroo Island adventure. It was a very special event and I am very glad to have taken part in such a unique running event . Yet again Travelling Fit ensured a smooth journey (though I can't say the same for the ferry crossing back to the mainland!!) . I'm already looking at what I can do next! Thanks again.

Doreen Macgillivray, NSW

London Marathon - UK

Just wanted to let you know that we had such a great time at a great event. Travelling Fit rep was amazing and went above and beyond and provided great support and knowledge throughout our stay. This trip has been my best in terms of forming new friendships which will continue into the future. I would just like to thank Travelling Fit over the past 3 1/2 years in allowing myself to reach my goal of achieving that 6 star medal. Your knowledge, guidance and everything in between makes staying and running in a foreign city so much easier. Thanks again.
