 What is a runner without a race to run? info@reason2run.co.uk
There are many tour operators offering great packages to some of the best races around the world.
209 Events 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.

 Purplepatchrunning - We believe that running, at every level, should be challenging, achievable and enjoyable. All too often, however, we get caught up in the day to day stresses and strains of fitting in runs, staying motivated, finding new routes, finding new running partners, achieving times, etc. At the end of the day, however, we feel better when we run than when we don’t so don’t let these niggles put you off your stride…...We at Purple Patch strive to offer you that extra something. Not ‘just a running weekend’ but a quality, informative, engrossing, fun weekend. Not ‘just coaching’ but targeted, innovative, personalised guidance. Racing events that challenge all your senses, not just your stopwatch (or wallet!). There is no better way to make sure that the time and effort you spend training is effective and appropriate than one-on-one Coaching. For a small monthly amount (about the same amount as you spend on your newspapers!) you can have a personalised programme and ongoing support & advice via email, telephone or face to face. We look forward to hearing from you …..Chris & Claire www.purplepatchrunning.com
