Benidorm has got to be one of the ultimate entertainment centres in Europe. There are more bars, cafes and restaurants than you can shake a stick at. There are numerous Cabaret performances, including some of the UK’s biggest stars. ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ offer a free after race party on the Sunday evening, including a free cabaret show, followed by drinking & dancing. Plenty of opportunities to let your hair down and work any stiffness out of your legs! In addition there are optional sightseeing tours at a small fee.

Groups:

Benidorm is a great venue for a group of runners. Lots of evening entertainment that is calling out to be shared. There are discounts available for large groups (20+), but even a group of just 10 will qualify for an additional prize for the first or last to finish.
If you have a group interested in joining us, just complete the Group Application Form, and ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ will be in touch.

A great value weekend – prices start from as little as £99. As a typical example, a 3 night stay as a runner costs just £179, with a non running supporter paying just £169.
I think you will agree these are keenly priced!

Denise and John Albutt
Poynton, Cheshire

Thanks again for another brilliant weekend in Benidorm. Great location for half marathon and of course weather was superb!! Many thanks to all your team for being so caring and helpful. This was our third trip with 'Running Crazy' and we would recommend to anyone wanting to have a fun weekend and just a 'little run'. Its good to meet runners of all standards, from people running their 1st half marathon to those who have run over 100 marathons, everyone is so friendly and encouraging.
