The holiday itself was superb. Your ground team were brilliant. They looked after us very well and were extremely accommodating. The apartment was 1st class and fulfilled all our needs. I'd like to thank you very much for helping us to arrange a very enjoyable and memorable experience."

Paul Hawkins - Venice Marathon
"Thanks, we had a great time in Venice. We ran our first marathon in 5h 5min, and thought the organisation and route were brilliant. We loved the hotel, and had a good night out with the rest of the runners on Saturday. The taxi to the start was well organised and saved the hassle of the bus/train transfer. All in all we would recommend this trip to anyone and thank you for the organisation, any suggestions for next year?"
Liam Bradley - Venice Marathon
"Thank you all went to plan in Venice. I completed the marathon without injury/illness and that was my priority having had a series of niggling injuries over the last two years. Your package and organisation helped things run smoothly for me so thank you for that. It all went like clockwork and I will readily contact you again in the future. "

Many thanks for your very friendly service"

"Thanks so much. We had a blast and I lowered my PR by over 8 minutes!! Thanks for all your help. I have spread the word of your company to many in my training group."
Geoff Capes - Olympian and World's Strongest Man recently spoke about Zest Sports' new take on marathon tours.
"Distance running and walking is such good exercise – it's free, burns calories and helps keep you fit and healthy.
I have seen what Zest Sports will be delivering and I think that what they are offering is perfect for people new to sport as well as for experienced runners and walkers. You can enter anything from a 10km race or a team marathon relay to a half or full marathon. There are even women only events and training camps!
Travelling to your event with Zest will mean that you can be fully focused on the race, safe in the knowledge that the team will take care of everything else. They’ll get you from the airport to your hand-picked hotel, make sure your supporters are given ample opportunity to cheer you on throughout the race and take them sightseeing afterwards should they want to. No matter if you are travelling alone or in a group – you will be looked after and able to savour the whole event. Having travelled around the globe several times during my athletics career I know just how important having a professional and experienced team to look after the details really is.
I would heartily recommend anyone to take up running and walking as part of a healthy lifestyle and, if you plan to travel to events, you should book with Zest Sports!"
