Spectators and Supporters:
We know how important spectators and supporters are at these events. We provide a supporters package at no extra charge. We will advise where on the course are the most advantageous spectator positions, and how to get there easily and in time for the race. More often than not we will take you there and join you for a cup of coffee and have a few surprises planned whilst awaiting the first sight of the runners! All our hotels are comfortably furnished with TV and entertainment facilities - many have spas, pools and saunas too.
Charity Runners:
'Running Crazy' are delighted to welcome runners who are raising sponsorship for registered charities. We know that the great feeling of accomplishment when completing the race, feels even better when you are helping others in to the bargain! See our Run for Charity link to choose a charity that you can help. Many charities listed there will provide special runners packs including sponsorship forms and tips, and also charity running vests. Just contact them with your details and tell them you intend to run with 'Running Crazy' on their behalf. In addition we will provide you with a 'Running Crazy' Certificate confirming your achievement and result, and also a special commemorative prize. Just specify the charity name in your 'Application'.
Accommodation:
We have access to a great hotel close to the race start and finish. Whilst breakfast and evening meals are not included in our price, it is possible to order these on arrival. Remember however that we will be making arrangements for a carbo-loading meal the night before the event, and a meal together before our celebrations start on the night of the race.
The Weather:
Weymouth is a seaside town and as such enjoys a maritime climate. The UK weather cannot be guaranteed at the best of times but it has been good for this race, 9 out of the last 10 years.
Entertainment:
Weymouth is perhaps the busiest town in Dorset. There are stacks of tourist attractions all within easy reach including the Jurrasic coast. As well as providing a great race Weymouth was an easy choice for us due to it's fantastic nightlife. There are harbourside pubs and quaint tea rooms for the day, and live music venues and busy, lively pubs for the evening. Not to mention the nightclubs for the night owls.
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. 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
Our all inclusive prices are extremely competitive - from as little as just £149 for the weekend - we know we cannot be beaten on price - and our runners continually tell us that they receive so much more on a 'Running Crazy' weekend break. All our 'resort races' offer half board accommodation, and for our 'Big City' races we know all the best value places to eat, drink and have fun. Indeed we book these for our pre-race and after race gatherings, meaning groups and individuals can just sit back, relax, make new running pals and let us do any worrying. No tourist traps for our clients! We know these races and places inside out, and will advise on what to see and do over the weekend, provide directions and maps - all very useful when on a tight timescale. All you have to do is run!
Closing Date
