Great Ocean Road Running Festival Race Review
Travelling Fit made booking and changes a breeze, I didn’t have to think about anything and knew it would all be done and I would have an enjoyable weekend, even after many changes were made due to COVID-19. Would book running events through them again.
Run the World – Cuba Race Review
The inaugural Travelling Fit Run the World tour to Cuba was held from 10th – 20th November 2018. Cuba is a paradox on many levels. Decaying and dilapidated, yet grand and bursting with signs of former glory. Repressed and caught in a time-warp, yet vibrant and exciting like no other place on earth. When travelling...
Great Wall Marathon
I must say it was an experience of a lifetime for our family, which consisted of my husband and me, our daughter and husband and two children ages 9 and 11 as well as our second daughter and her son aged 3. To say China was on our bucket list would be incorrect, however after...
BMW Berlin Marathon Race Review
Thank you for a wonderfully organised Berlin marathon. After a couple of days of excruciating muscle soreness, it’s smooth sailing on the body front. I’ll probably go for a cheeky 5km run with my other half tomorrow morning in the countryside around Cambridge. After running (albeit slowly) the first half of Berlin, I did start...
BMW Berlin Marathon Race Review
For some reason, I was extra emotional about Berlin. I don’t know if it was because I’d just missed out on Boston, or because it was so far away without my kids, or if it was because I was hoping to pull off something HUGE with a goal of a 3:30 finish, a 4+ minute...
London Marathon Race Review
My long term goal had been to run a sub 2:30 Marathon. It was my first time under 2:30 at London. I had run between 2:32 and 2:35 seven or eight times but I had never quite closed the deal. I did something a little different in the last year in that I chose to...
BAA Boston Marathon Race Review
Boston Marathon Team Thomo recap An absolutely awesome event…would love to do it again. Scott’s Six-Star Medal Run. Despite managing an injury throughout the training cycle, I went into Boston feeling the strongest and fittest and most prepared to run a marathon than ever before. I was ready. A PB was a real chance. Scott...
Great Wall Marathon Race Review
The Travelling Fit Team includes a Travel Agent who provided excellent research and comparative prices on flights to and from China, which made getting to and from the event a complete breeze. We were met at the airport and transfers to and from the hotel and all transfers within China were included. It couldn’t have...
Great Wall Marathon Race Review
I did Paris Marathon on my own – at that stage I had not heard of Travelling Fit but as I am from the UK and have done some Travel in Europe I was not worried booking this on my own.  My friend who I did China with did do Paris with Travelling Fit and...
Great Wall Marathon Race Review
I landed in Beijing incredibly excited that I would soon be running on the Great Wall of China! The lead up to race day was amazing – The Travelling Fit group of 80 or so runners and supporters made the trip so so special. There is something to be said about going to another country...
Marathon des Sables Race Review
Marathon des Sables was AMAZING! I can see how it is addictive. At the time I said I would never do it again but the further away I get from it, I just feel so fondly about it. The main thing I miss/loved is the camaraderie amongst all the racers, even the medical team/organizers! It...
Marathon des Sables Race Review
Marathon des Sables. Done. Phew! It certainly lived up to its tagline – ‘The Toughest Footrace on Earth’ 220km over six days, totally self sufficient meaning carrying everything you need for 6 days, ie sleeping gear, food etc.. (for me a 7.5kg backpack not including water!) – sharp rocky terrain mixed with soft sand, crazy...
BAA Boston Marathon Race Review
BOSTON MARATHON RACE REPORT Let’s put it out there right now. The Boston Marathon is one of the “must do” marathons, indeed it’s the hardest of the World Marathon Majors (WMM) to get into. We were lucky enough to run the 123rd Boston Marathon on Monday 15th April, which is Patriots’ Day in the Commonwealth...
BAA Boston Marathon Race Review
The atmosphere at the start of the Boston Marathon was incredible! The buses were so well organised taking runners out to the start line, it all worked easily. No stress. I was feeling excited at the start line – I was running Boston after all! It’s the most iconic marathon i think in the world...
BAA Boston Marathon Race Review
These major events, although being very big in terms of numbers, are very well organised. The host city embraces the event and the runners, and a real carnival atmosphere is present. Once you get there, having the Travelling Fit team there to help is priceless. The comfort of their experience makes for a calm and...
Marathon des Sables Race Review
Grab a coffee, pull up a comfy chair and come on a journey to the Sahara… Pre Race It’s my birthday, and the longest birthday ever, as I’m steadily gaining hours crossing time zones. (That’s an unexpected positive to a long-haul flight :)) Right now, I’m in seat 47 A cruising at 35,000 feet, on...
Boston Marathon

Tokyo Marathon Race Review
Tokyo Marathon Race Report The Tokyo Marathon joined the big league in 2013 when it was included in the World Marathon Majors series.

Great Wall Marathon Race Review
I had completed my 7th marathon and was ready to “up the ante” for my 8th. But, what one? My starting point was the Travelling Fit website. I had travelled with this company for five previous events and have always found it to be professional in its approach, organized with the friendly staff and, above...
TCS New York City Marathon
Written by Helen Heaver The day started at 5.45 in the lobby, expertly shepherded onto coaches in the cold dark of a NY morning. 90 minutes later deposited on Staten Island, a 20-minute walk away from the start. At this stage thanking myself for all the layers of Salvo’s clothing to be left at the...
Marathon du Medoc Race Review
Medoc Marathon This “race” takes place in the Bordeaux region of south-west France and combines Medoc’s famed local red wines with their winemakers’ dazzling chateaux. Aid stations are placed every 2-3km and are stocked with local wine produce as well as water and all types of food including oysters and steak – no wonder all...
Petra Desert Marathon Runner’s Story
Written by Anthony Mcalister For many years I have long held the belief that when we stop challenging ourselves, a small part of us inside stops living. So after three attempts at the Petra Desert Marathon it was a matter of unfinished business and the planning for a fourth attempt began. I rang Travelling Fit...

Australian Outback Marathon Race Review
AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK MARATHON ⸺ 28 JULY 2018 As befits all things associated with the vastness of the Red Centre, the Australian Outback Marathon is one hugely awesome event. A marathon with a difference. Even my time was massive! I never, ever thought that I would be proud of a time of a few seconds shy...
Great Ocean Road Running Festival Race Review
Great Ocean Road Running Festival:  WOW!  One of the best events I’ve been part of!   I opted for the Half Marathon not knowing the terrain, it’s an undulating 23km spectacular course along the Great Ocean Road.  There are various events for all the family over the weekend ranging from 1.5 km to an Ultra 66km...

The Big Five Marathon – Entabeni Game Reserve – South Africa. By Bonnie Davies The Big Five Marathon is an annual event held at the end of June during the Winter.

The woman who just finished her first marathon…on Mt Everest
So now I have completed my first marathon, which just also happens to be the highest in the world. From Everest Basecamp all the way to Namche Bazaar, a little town tucked into the Nepalese Himalayas. During my preparation I was convinced that if I was able to cross that finish line I could achieve...

TCS New York City Marathon Race Review
The bus leaves well before the sun decides to make an appearance. It’s quiet – everyone is in their own space, doing what they need to do to visualise what is yet to come as you cruise through the streets of the city that never sleeps. The Village at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island –...
Reykjavik Marathon and Half Marathon Race Review
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...
Reykjavik Marathon and Half Marathon Race Review
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’...
Reykjavik Marathon and Half Marathon Race Review
“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...
Reykjavik Marathon and Half Marathon Race Review
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...
Big Five Marathon Race Review
The Big5 experience as a whole, was better than awesome. Wildside accommodation was like double 5 star glamping, the tents were way better than I was expecting, shower/toilet area was better than I’ve seen in some 4/5 star hotels!!, (beds were super comfy too!!). Nights/mornings were cold, but nothing my very unsexy fleecy socks and pj’s didn’t conquer. Our tour leader...
BMW Berlin Marathon Race Review
This is my third world major with Travelling Fit and as with the other two- the team once again out did themselves! The Berlin Marathon hosted 44,000 runners from 120 countries.  Whilst the Germans are known for their efficiency, the magnitude of the event combined with voting in the German Federal Election on the same...
Le Marathon du Médoc Race Review
Where to start with my Marathon du Medoc experience? This is not a single day race. This is a week long race. So don’t sprint too early and be prepared for a marathon. And a Personal Worst (PW) time. Wednesday  I arrived into Bordeaux by train, took the lazy option of a taxi to Hotel...
Marathon du Medoc Race Review
Rule number one of Medoc is that you take part in fancy dress. Race day began at the Le Continental Hotel in Bordeaux at 4:20am, to become Cilla Black. This involved dressing as the 1960s singer as well as looking like I was from the 1960s in terms of a grayscale effect. Getting ready for...
Big Five Marathon Race Review
What an amazing experience!  We were so fortunate to be able to have a fantastic African adventure in the recent 2017 Big Five Marathon, where I ran the marathon and my wife attended as a spectator. We are so glad that we got to stay at Ravineside Lodge which was only a five to ten...
Antarctica Marathon Race Review
My Story… Eight years ago I decided to get fit. I brought a running machine and started with 2-3 times a week, 2-3km at a time. I then set a goal to run 1500KM on it in a year…Whilst I was sort happy with that I wanted to do better, so I decided to run...

Running Makes A Healthy Change
INDIGENOUS RUNNING PROGRAM A MARATHON EFFORT When Australian running legend Rob de Castella has an idea, people listen. His idea in 2009 to find Australian indigenous runners to beat the pants off the athletic-world-dominating African runners, took off as the Indigenous Marathon Project in 2010 when a squad of four indigenous men ran the New...
Running the World One Country at a Time
Travelling Fit kicks off its inaugural run the world tour in Iceland Reykjavik – just the sound of it conjours images of glaciers, cold rushing water over rocks, reindeer and austere dark trees.

Running In From The Cold: Antarctica Marathon
I’LL HAVE ICE WITH MINE THANKS Marathons, they’re everywhere – even in Antarctica, providing people such as Queenslander Sharon Ryder with ‘crazy challenges’ that just have to be met. She describes her recent Travelling Fit-organised run in the frozen northern landscape as incredible. “It was a crazy challenge due to the environment, weather and elements.”...
Marathon Des Sables Challenge
CONQUERING THE SAHARA ON FOOT People do marathons for many reasons, but some marathons pin you to your goal and push you past any boundaries you thought might exist, to spit you out the other end a different person. Marathon Des Sables, 250km of pure personal challenge across the Sahara over seven days, is one...
Tokyo Marathon – The Day We Unite – Race Review
The day we unite My Journey to Tokyo began in September 2015 when I missed out on the ballot entry.

New York – My First Time! – Race Review
The first live marathon I ever saw was from the side of the road on the Sydney Harbour Bridge at the 2000 Olympics.  Little did I dream that just over 11 years later I too would run an international marathon!  Forgive me if my ramblings go on too long.  I have to debrief somehow. Marathon...

Polar Circle Marathon – Rachael Mason Race Review
THE COOLEST MARATHON ON EARTH When we triumphed with our half marathon adventure at the Great Wall Half Marathon, we thought nothing could compare, or be as hard as that run.

Jeff Meltzer, Karen Mason and Rachel Mason of Meltzer Mason Heath entered the Half Marathon event of this annual race.

Boston Marathon is held on the Monday of the Patriot’s Day long weekend. This year’s Marathon Monday for the 119th Boston Marathon was 20 April 2015. I arrived in Boston on the Friday after a short stay in New York that eliminated most of the jet lag. Travel was an AMTRAK train to Boston Back...
Boston Marathon Race Review
Boston, New York, Chicago, London, Berlin. Of all the major marathons around the world the one I’ve always wanted to do is Boston. The world’s longest continually held race.

Thank you very much for your help in getting us to Antarctica. The whole trip was a great life experience.

Antarctica Marathon Race Review
We had a 6am wake up message on the boat, and a reminder of the 6:15 breakfast. A shower, more agonising over layers, wondering about the weather report of 0 degrees and 20 knot (50 km/hr) winds instead of the 10 knots promised us last night! Cornflakes with sugar and a banana and an apple...

Marathon des Sables Race Review
Marathon des Sables 2 weeks on, and now we’re both back in the ‘real world’ and day jobs, wondering if the surreal race through the Sahara desert was all just a dream. If I had to sum up the experience up in just one word, it would be exhilarating. There’s nowhere else where you can...
Lil Broomby – New York Marathon Finisher Race Review
MAKING A DREAM COME TRUE In 2011, I started running at the age of 42, to lose weight and to get fit. During that year my running partner Catherine Potter and I made a list of race goals including the New York Marathon. After doing some research on how we go about entering this massive...

Tokyo Marathon Race Review
I have wanted to visit Japan since the age of 18. On 22 February 2015, at a little over the age of 18, I even ran the Tokyo marathon to make it seem (in some perverse way) more decent…. or something.  It was so, so, so, worth it. I would do it again, in a...
Tokyo – How to run a “PR” Marathon Race Review
So I rose at 4:30AM and looked out the window to see a light drizzle. The weather report called for the rain stopping and then starting again in the afternoon, pretty accurate here. I showered and put on my gear, changing to a less warm top than I had planned. I went outside to feel...
It’s a bit hard to know where to begin…
We flew to Kathmandu with China Southern Air, probably not the best airline in the world for service, but the planes were good and the flights were relatively cheap. This meant we had a stop over in China, then from there to Kathmandu. I guess I didn’t know what to expect in Kathmandu but didn’t...

Big Five Marathon Race Review
We drove the half marathon course the day before… my goal was now to be faster than the vehicle could drive.

Marathon du Medoc Race Review
Most marathons I have completed I can’t wait to finish. Usually my pre-race plan has gone out the window and I’m hanging on trying to save some dignity for the finish. However the Marathon du Medoc, held in Paulliac, one hour north of Bordeaux, France, is not a normal marathon and is more like a...
Chicago Marathon Race Review – Ginta Viliunas
On Sunday morning,  together with 40,000 or so other runners in the start corrals, I was acutely conscious that the Chicago marathon was the first World Marathon Major event to be held on American soil since the Boston tragedy in April 2013. It has to be said that, on race day morning, I was in...

The Athens Classic Marathon Race Review
Those from Sydney would probably recall a wide range of international sporting events in the year prior to our Olympics. Every sport held a major international competition to test the officials, the venues and have a practice for all. Sydney’s marathon fulfilled that role. As an official from the sport of canoeing I was probably...
