Although evening meals and lunch aren’t provided in the running holidays package, we’ll recommend the best places to eat, and a packed lunch can be purchased from each place you stay.
- Every guest on our running holidays is provided with an information pack which includes:
- What you need to pack
- Things to look out for
- Services along the way including banks, shops etc.
All of this will be emailed to you as a PDF before your trip, so you can store it on your smartphone or other device.
