About
Running a race is hard. Planning for it shouldn’t be. That’s why we’re here.
Marathon Magic is a travel planning service for runners. From outlining which hotel to book to restaurants you can carbo-load at to where to take those post-race photos, we map out all the logistics of your race travel so you can focus on crossing that finish line.
Whether you’re here to read about a specific race or are looking for a personalized travel itinerary, we make planning your next race, whether that be a 5K or a World Marathon Major, as easy as those easy-run days.
Hi, hey, hello ❤
Thank you so much for being here! My name’s Erika and I started Marathon Magic out of a love for running and planning.
Here’s me with my dog, Bentley, who loves neither of those things.
Me on the other hand? I absolutely love planning. My ideal weekend is reading hundreds of hotel and restaurant reviews to find those hidden gems in a new city. It’s a little strange, I know, but I truly enjoy creating joyful, memorable experiences for others, and that includes you!
After finishing more than 20+ half and full marathons around the globe, and spending way too much time researching and planning those race weekends, I’m so pumped about the prospect of helping others plan theirs.
On the blog, you’ll find race ideas, sample itineraries, and travel planning tips. If there’s a specific race you’d like tips around, or you just want to share pictures of your race travels—or your pet!—send me a note at hello@marathonmagic.com.
