RunFun Travel specialises in bringing together our two passions of marathon running and travel. Having been involved in running and marathons for over 30 years we have contacts all over the world. It’s these contacts that enable us to bring new events to runners and this is what sets RunFun Travel apart . As well as being part of the travel industry we are part of the worldwide running industry.

We have organised, run in and worked with marathons around the world – we know what runners want from an event and, more importantly, we are well placed to deliver it. While you do the training, we’ll do the organising to ensure your running experience delivers when it counts.

Marathon & Lifestyle Travel Specialists    
Yes, you're right, there was no newsletter last fortnight. Time, tide and internet connectivity got the better of us so we just travelled and soaked up running information to present to you at a later time! 

We've been working on a great new marathon concept which we'll hopefully be able to announce soon. It's adventurous, exotic and a first for the region. Piqued your interest? 

We also attended the World Half Marathon Championships in Kavarna, Bulgaria. The Aussies fared well and you can read more about the champs in The Gourmet Runner blog (see below).

Packages for the Yangon, Brighton and Big Sur Marathons are now on the website. Just a matter of picking your destination.

When you think of travelling to an event, think about travelling with the marathon experts.

Superb scenery, great organisation and a few hills thrown into the mix. Packages are now available for $850pp for 4 nights. Why don't you stay… just a little bit longer.   Big Sur International Marathon   28 April 2013 

 

Paris-Brighton Daily Double What better way to warm up for the Brighton Marathon than travelling to the Paris Marathon the weekend before.What a trip! If you're going to make the effort, the effort may as well be worth it. The Brighton Marathon is sold out again but not to RunFun runners. This will be another great event…. we wouldn't miss it for anything!  Brighton Marathon 14 April 2013

 

Great Wall Marathon Earlybird Discount  Runners who make a confirmed booking for the 2013 Great Wall Marathon will receive a $50 discount on their package price.

SWEAT Your Way to Success
SWEAT (Sean Williams Enduranc and Training) offers runners in Sydney the chance to train with other runners of a similar standard and with common goals. The three main squads are the beginners/intermediate squad for serious recreational runners, the elite squad and the junior/kids squad. Personalised online coaching is offered both to those in the Sydney squads and for those who can't make the sessions, including runners with busy lifestyles or who live remotely. Around 6 running training camps per year are held in NSW for runners of all levels. .  SWEAT Website

Hot Performances in Bulgaria

We have been fortunate to attend all but one of the World Half Marathon Championships over the past 12 years. This has provided us with the opportunity to visit some fascinating locations and to meet and work with some highly talented, motivated and engaging people.

Locations have included Bristol (Great Britain), Vilamoura (Portugal), Delhi (India), Edmonton (Canada), Debrecen (Hungary), Udine (Italy), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Birmingham (Great Britain), Nanning (China) and this year the Championships took us to Kavarna, a seaside resort on the Black Sea in Bulgaria.
