‘Running Crazy Ltd’ have secured 3*Hotel accommodation on a Half Board
basis at a hotel within walking distance of the start and finish area.
The ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ Hospitality tent will be available for kit
storage if needs be, but the race organisers have this well covered in
any event.

the figures:

Entertainment:
The course is well laid out, giving more than a few opportunities for
supporters to catch a view of the race. There is an after race relaxing
afternoon at a bar on the beach. Benidorm has got to be one of the
ultimate entertainment centres in Europe. There are more bars, cafes
and restaurants than you can shake a stick at. There are numerous
Cabaret performances, including some of the UK’s biggest stars.
‘Running Crazy Ltd’ offer a free after race party on the Sunday
evening, including a free cabaret show, followed by drinking & dancing. Plenty of opportunities to let your hair down and work any
stiffness out of your legs! In addition there are optional sightseeing
tours at a small fee.
Groups:
Benidorm is a great venue for a group of runners. Lots of evening
entertainment that is calling out to be shared. There are discounts
available for large groups (20+), but even a group of just 10 will
qualify for an additional prize for the first or last to finish.
If you have a group interested in joining us, just complete the Group
Application Form, and ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ will be in touch.
Prices:
A great value weekend – prices start from as little as £99. As a typical
example, a 3 night stay as a runner costs just £179, with a non running
supporter paying just £169. I think you will agree these are keenly priced!
