    Hi Folks,
    Can someone tell me the name of the travel tour operators that offer the Marathon package for New York with the guaranteed entry place? And if you have any experience with them...

    thanks...

    Qualifying times and charity work are not options unfortunately, so just looking for the package info

    Sports Travel International certainly do NYC marathon trips. I haven't used or booked with them so I can't comment and how good, bad or indifferent they are

    Used Sports Travel International for NY last year and found them very professional, will use them again.

    I used them for the Berlin marathon in '10, all very well organised. Although having said that I save a good few € by arranging it myself last year but I'd certainly recommend them regardless.

    I got quotes last year for around €1800, for 4 nights accommodation, flights and marathon entry. It's more expensive if you want a single room. I have an email quote from last year - if you want to pm your email address I'll forward it on to you.
