Latest news regarding the TUI Marathon Palma de Mallorca

 
Have you noticed already? There's no stopping the arrival of Spring! Slowly, very slowly the sunshine is tempting the first buds to open, and when training it's only natural to have a passing glance at the snowdrops and the sprouting green of the crocuses. The next summer is already on its way for sure. And the next TUI Marathon Palma de Mallorca … too!

Here is the latest news about it:

JAKO – the new outfitter

We are pleased to announce and present a new partner to you: the finisher shirts of the TUI Marathon Palma de Mallorca will from now on be made by JAKO. The team sports outfitter based in Mulfingen/Hollenbach (Germany) celebrated its 20th year of existence in 2009 and can look back on an impressive history.

From the modest beginnings of making team shirts, which the company founder Rudi Sprüngel manufactured in his brother's garage, the outfitter has established itself and now supplies well over 150 teams – from football, basketball and volleyball and even to light athletics.

Team sports has been and still is the priority of the crew in Hollenbach as well as responsible and respectful interactions with people and the environment. That's why the company is the perfect partner for the TUI Marathon. For more information about JAKO visit www.jako.de.

Child care by TUI best Family

Never change a winning team. At the 8th TUI Marathon the children entertainers of TUI best Family will again be present – namely from 8.00am to 3.30pm. That means you can run a relaxed TUI Marathon while your children are being well looked after in the Parc de la Mar. Child care costs €15 and can be booked simply at the same time you register: online or using the registration form. For booking at a later date please contact info@tuimarathon.com.   The entertainers will be there already on Saturday and will have paintbrushes and paints with them to put colour on the faces of spectators and young runners in the UNICEF Kids Run.

Green Marathon: TUI forest and social responsibility

We and the runners in the TUI Marathon are firm believers in sustainability. In 2010 some 75 runners each donated a tree to the TUI Forest on the Balearics and TUI gave another one for each tree donated. Sometime during this year the names will be immortalised on a plaque listing all the donators. Again this year there will be an opportunity to donate trees. You can book a tree at the same time you register either online or by using the form which can be downloaded.

Running for a good cause: €498 was collected for a UNICEF water project in Niger. TUI donated a further €10,000 for the project within the framework of the Kids Run. And money was collected also for the Peter-Maffay Foundation, which helps traumatised children: €582 came together. And it's really easy for anyone who would like to donate in 2011: Simply tick where appropriate when you register online or in the form. We thank you here and now on behalf of all those in need!

Hotel packages online
TUI and Thomson Sports has again put together some interesting travel packages for you which include not only hotel services but also extra offers specifically for the marathon. So whether you need just the flight, just the hotel or the flight and the hotel – with TUI you can book your trip just the way you need it. Now you can choose from many hotels. We can't help you if you're spoilt for choice though …

We wish you the most wonderful start to springtime! Enjoy it!
