Where Will Your Next Marathon Take You?
Global marathon adventures await runners...
With the spring marathon season delivering unforgettable moments across Europe and the UK, many runners are already turning their attention towards the next big challenge. From iconic World Marathon Majors to scenic coastal races and historic city routes, Marathon Tours & Travel UK is helping runners plan their next adventure on the global running calendar.
Autumn remains one of the busiest periods in marathon running, with major events attracting huge demand from runners looking to combine racing with travel experiences. The TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS, BMW Berlin Marathon and Bank of America Chicago Marathon continue to rank among the world’s most sought after races, offering fast courses, huge crowds and unforgettable race day atmospheres.
For runners looking beyond the marathon distance, events like the TCS Amsterdam Marathon Half & 7.5K and Valencia Half Marathon provide the opportunity to experience major international race weekends without committing to the full 26.2 miles. Scenic destinations such as Nice Cannes and Valencia also continue to grow in popularity with runners seeking warmer weather and destination race experiences later in the year.
Historic races also remain firmly on many runners’ bucket lists, with the Athens Authentic Marathon offering a unique opportunity to follow the original marathon route from Marathon to Athens. Combined with organised travel packages, guaranteed entries and race weekend support, overseas marathon travel continues to appeal to runners looking for something beyond the standard race experience.
Marathon Tours & Travel UK has built a strong reputation for helping runners access some of the world’s biggest events, combining race entries with accommodation, travel support and guided experiences. As runners begin planning for autumn and beyond, international marathon travel is once again shaping up to be one of the biggest trends of the 2026 running season.
