The Race:

This is an undulating course starting in Palma, the capital of Majorca. It runs along the coast to the nearby resorts of Palma Nova and finishes in Magaluf. Time limit is 2 hours.

Accommodation:

‘Running Crazy Ltd’ have secured 3 * Hotel accommodation on a Half Board basis at a hotel right alongside the finish line. This is ideal for changing and showering facilities. All rooms are comfortable, and the meals include breakfast and a wide and varied choice of evening meals from 6-00pm to 9-00pm.. A 4* Hotel option is available if required, at a supplement.

The Weather

November in Majorca can be delightful. Perfect for running – here are the figures:-

  • average sunshine hours per day:  5
  • wet days in a month:  9
  • average temperatuire: 12-17 degrees celsius
  • humidity:  75% (at 0700 hrs) 65% (at 14.00 hrs)
  • average monthly rainfall:  2.5"

Entertainment:

This time of year in Majorca means you may still get a couple of days on the beach. If not there is still plenty of sights to take in, including Palma, Puerta Portals, or further north to Valdemossa. There are ample bars, cafes and restaurants and of course the ‘Running Crazy Ltd’ after race party will take some beating.

Groups:

This trip offers a great opportunity for Clubs or training partners to get together. Travelling together may also be more convenient and fun too. There are discounts available for large groups (20+), but even just a group of 10 will qualify for a prize for the first or last in your group to finish (you choose).

Prices:

This is another great value trip away. Prices are from as little as £85 for a weekend, and as an example a 3 night stop would cost the runner £135, and the non-runner just £117. Great prices – great value!
