WELCOME TO 2:09 EVENTS
Welcome to 2:09 EVENTS - a trademark that represents high quality event management and the best training camps for runners of all abilities.
31 AUG 2008: SEPTEMBER NEWS | |  | | Paris Marathon | | Great Wall Marathon |
If the passing of the Beijing Olympics has left a void in your life as it has mine - how I miss the Olympic breakfast programme and early evening highlights programmes - then now is the time to apply some of that inspiration to your own running.
In the last few weeks we have been busy adding new tours to the website - look out for the Reggae Marathon this December and Paris, Boston, Madrid and Stockholm, amongst others, next spring.
Many of our winter events are still open for bookings - if you want a taste of Beijing post Olympics then it is still possible to join us for the Beijing Marathon in October or for the Great Wall Marathon in May.
Maybe escape the start of winter here by heading for Cyprus at the end of November and the 4-Day Challenge - entries for this year are 40% up on last year already.
Or, hit the Caribbean for the Barbados Marathon in December (same weekend as the Reggae Marathon) or our Cuban Trail Marathon in January.
Or, for a city marathon with a difference join us (and a gaggle of running Elvis's) in Las Vegas on December 7th.
If you have missed training then there is still time to sign up for our Summer Algarve training week from Sept 21st or if that is too soon then we already have 50 signed up for the famous Runner's World Algarve Spring Training weeks from March 5th - there are 250 places available, split evenly between weeks 1 & 2 (Mar 5 or 12) and we are look very likely to fill all of those with ease.
Finally, as many will know, I have been the expert behind the Runner's World Marathon training thread each spring and one of the most asked questions is, "I have a ski holiday booked, what do I do about missed training?"
Well, we have just the answer for those who like to ski - or maybe haven't tried it because it interupts training - with our second Winter Fitness and Nordic Ski week in Davos, Switzerland from Jan 3.
It is a perfect week combining cross country & Nordic skiing plus snow shoeing in the beautiful valleys radiating from behind the excellent Hotel Bunda, which is well known to us from the summer Alpine Marathon, and a perfect solution to the skiing-v-training conundrum.
Enjoy choosing your next running - or skiing - trip and we look forward to meeting you somewhere soon.
Yours in sport,

We are very pleased to be able to present on this website a selection of events that we hope you find as mouthwatering as we do.
We take you to some of the most exciting running destinations in the world - whether your preference is a half or full marathon you'll be
able to do it on the Great Wall of China, in a Kenyan Safari Park, through the Alps, a wilderness in Cyprus through sub-tropical
forest in Cuba or in the Himalayas.
There are plenty of city marathons on tarmac but few compare with the ING New York City Marathon - if you're not quite ready to run in a
Safari Park there's no better place to cut your marathon teeth than this exciting urban jungle where running sits comfortably with high
class shopping! Our overseas events have been very carefully chosen and are amongst the best of their kind, so much so that each has been
adopted by Runner's World Magazine for the Runner's World Travel Collection.
To help you prepare for your racing we have again teamed up with Runner's World for what has become the definitive Training Camp and Training
support packages. Train with us on the Algarve at various times of the year, check the Garmin supported training plans on Runner's World or enjoy
some personal coaching before the ING New York City Marathon.
Our UK 10km series goes from strength to strength with new venues added to our traditional winter events at Longleat and Woburn, both of which
were highly praised by the forumites on the Runner's World website. With other new UK based events in the planning stage we are very excited about
our programme - we hope you are too and if you need any more information about the events on the website we're always happy to questions.
