Calvia, Majorca, Marathon,
Half Marathon & 10K
Sunday 14 December 2008


The Weekend:


Last year over 300 people travelled with ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ to this event. With a great race, conveniently located 3* Half Board hotel accommodation, sightseeing tours, a fantastic after race party, and all at crazily cheap prices, you can see why it is becoming more and more popular.

What is included:-

  • Met at Palma de Mallorca Airport by ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ staff
  • Transfer and return from/to Airport
  • 3* Hotel on Half Board basis (Hotel by Race Start and Finish area)
  • Pasta Party (Saturday afternoon)

  • Goody Bag and Number delivered
  • ‘T-Shirt’ and Medal

  • ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ Hospitality tent
  • After Race Presentation Evening

  • Optional Sightseeing tours

The Race:


Both the Marathon and Half Marathon races start at 9-00am. The Marathon is 2 laps.
The course is relatively flat and scenic, taking in the tourist towns of Magaluf, Santa Ponsa and Palma Nova. Many runners have achieved PBs on this course, but the time limit for completion of the Marathon (or the Half Marathon) is 5 Hours.

Accommodation:

‘Running Crazy Ltd’  have secured 3* Hotel accommodation on a Half Board basis at a hotel right alongside the race start and finish area. This is ideal for kit security, aswell as showering and changing facilities. All rooms are comfortable, and the meals include breakfast, (earlier on race day) and a wide and varied choice of evening meals from 6-00pm to 9-00pm. A 4* Hotel option is available if required, at a supplement.

The Weather:


The last 4 years have seen perfect weather conditions for running – cool but sunny.
Here are the figures:

-
average sunshine hours per day:  4
- wet days in a month:  9
- average temperatuire:  12-16 degrees celsius
- humidity:  75% (at 0700 hrs) 65% (at 14.00 hrs)
- average monthly rainfall:  2.5"

Entertainment:

Ensuring that your supporters, and friends & family are kept interested and occupied is an important consideration. There is free daily entertainment and activities in the hotel, together with an indoor swimming pool. The beach is just 200 metres away. There are ample bars, cafes and restaurants in the area. Don’t forget the After-Race Presentation, and of course the After Race Party, which goes on late in to the night.  In addition there are optional sightseeing tours to Palma for your Christmas shopping, Valdemossa for the tourist sights, and Puerto Portals for upmarket shopping or just relaxing by the luxury yachts in the Marina.

Groups:

This weekend offers a great opportunity for Clubs, or training partners to get together.
Some Clubs already make this event their annual outing, and it is ideally suited. Just before Christmas, it combines a race, some fun, and shopping all in one. Travelling together may also be more convenient. 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.

Prices:

This weekend represents great value for money – prices start from as little as £99. As an example a 3 night stop as a runner with everything included costs just £179, your non-running supporter pays just £169……………..A bargain!

What to do next:

If you are interested in taking part in this event, simply complete and return the Application Form. Further details will be sent by return of E-Mail including travel tips, a full price list, and payment arrangements.

"What our customers say"

Dawn Gardener - Newcastle

This was our first trip with Running Crazy and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again or to recommend them to my fellow runners. It was so well organised with a real family atmosphere, we felt very well looked after by all. The race was without a doubt worth doing but I'm still confused as to how everyone appeared to have so much energy at the 'after race party' (which by the way was a good one).
Looking forward to our next trip.
Well done Running Crazy.

Mike Russell - Hertfordshire

Have recently returned from completing the Calvia Marathon in Majorca with Running Crazy.....and can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Nothing was too much trouble for Malcolm and his colleagues and the cost was extremely reasonable. The organisation of the weekend was excellent and the Marathon itself was very well marshalled. I was particularly impressed at Malcolm's ability to organise such fine weather for us in Majorca! I would certainly recommend Running Crazy to anyone considering running a marathon overseas. Best wishes for the future, Malcolm!
