Marathon Magic

What is Marathon Magic?

Marathon Magic is a travel planning service for runners.

Since we know race travel can be overwhelming, we create personalized travel itineraries and provide travel tips and tricks so you can spend less time planning and more time training. Here are the packages we offer.

What’s a personalized travel itinerary,
and what packages do you offer?

A personalized travel itinerary is your guide to your race week—and it can be as detailed as you’d like.

We know everyone has different preferences when it comes to race travel. Some want to relax, some want to see the sights, some are entertaining family and some are traveling solo. Depending on what you’re looking for, we develop an itinerary based entirely around your needs.

We offer two packages—Run the Race as well as Run + See the Place. As you’ll see on our rate card, both packages include recommended hotels near the start or finish line, suggestions on where to eat your pre- and post-race meals, where to do your shake-out runs and post-race pictures, and must-do local activities.

The Run + See the Place package also includes a personalized, day-by-day itinerary with detailed recommendations on what to eat, see, and do based on your interests as well as race-specific tips.

What does a personalized travel itinerary look like, and
in what format is it in?

Here are two sample itineraries: one for our Run the Race package and one for our Run + See the Place package.

Each can be further personalized to meet your needs.

The itinerary will be delivered as a designed PDF, and the look and feel will be similar to these samples. Can you tell our favorite color is blue?

How would we work together?

First off, thank you so much for considering us for your race travel needs! We’re absolutely honored. If you’re interested in partnering, please fill out the contact form below (or on our “contact” page) to get the process started.

We’ll then send a brief intake survey to you via email to get a better sense of what you’re looking for. From there, we’ll hop on a call (or continue chatting via email if preferred) where we can talk through what you’re looking for and walk through any questions. After that, you can determine if Marathon Magic is what you’re looking for.

Do you only plan marathons?

Absolutely not. We’ll happily help you plan for any race whether it’s an Abbott World Marathon Major, a SuperHalf or a 5K. You name it, we’ll plan it.

We know our company name includes the word “marathon,” but we love alliteration (and marathons!).

What are the benefits of working
with Marathon Magic?

You’ll walk (or run?) away with a travel itinerary that’s been solely designed with you and your race in mind. This personalized itinerary, which takes into account everything from your goals to budget to travel style to food preferences and travel partners, will help ease any anxiety you may have around the logistics and help you confidently get to that starting line.

Plus, you’ll get another cheerleader in your court for race day!

How much do your travel
planning services cost?

Our prices range depending on what you’re looking for, but we offer two primary packages. Our rate card outlines what comes with each!

What’s the turnaround time for
a personalized travel itinerary?

We’ll send a personalized travel itinerary to you within within two weeks of completing our brief intake survey. If you need it quicker, just let us know and we’ll chat.
