2019 LONDON MARATHON TOUR
SUNDAY 28 APRIL 2019
RACE ENTRY GUARANTEED
We are pleased to outline the details of our Tour to the 2019 Virgin Money London Marathon, one of the world’s greatest sporting events. You can pay your own way or you can fundraise for charity and go FREE.
The Marathon starts at 9.30am on SUNDAY, APRIL 28 from Blackheath, near Greenwich, and runs through many famous London districts and past many landmarks, including the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. As the official Irish tour operator we have an allocation of marathon entries so we can GUARANTEE your place in the `marathon of a lifetime’, regardless of your previous marathon times (if any). All entries are sold as part of a full tour package only. The Finish Line is open for at least 8 hours. Minimum age is 18 years.
Flights are from Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Shannon to London on Friday morning and afternoon and on Saturday morning (latest flight 11.00am). Return flights on Sunday evening (after 7.30pm) and on Monday (all day). All flights are subject to availability at time of booking.
The minimum tour package is based on two nights twin or double sharing at the 4**** Melia White House Hotel (Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun). All prices are per person. A very substantial Buffet Breakfast is included. A special arrangement will be made for early breakfast for runners on marathon day.
The Melia White House Hotel is one of London’s leading 4 star art deco hotels. It has 581 well-appointed bedrooms, all with private bath, hairdryer, air conditioning, radio, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, UK/EU/US sockets, tea/coffee maker, in-room safe, trouser press and 24-hour room service.
Located in the heart of the city, beside Regent’s Park, the hotel is within easy walking distance of Oxford St, Madame Tussauds and the British Museum. Close to three Tube Stations, it is less than 100m from Great Portland Street tube station and only a 5-minute walk from both Warren Street and Regent’s Park stations. It is a short tube ride from the marathon finish line.
The hotel’s L’Albufeira restaurant specialises in Mediterranean cuisine while its award-winning brasserie, The Place, serves a selection of international dishes. The DRY Martini Bar is open daily from 8am until late and offers a selection of snacks. There are also shops, pubs and excellent restaurants close to the hotel.
