Boston Marathon 2008 credit FAYFOTO/Boston |
Perhaps the most historic of all marathons, with the exception, of course, of the original one in Athens, but certainly the longest continuously-held marathon in modern history. We offer a 4-night tour with flights from Virgin Atlantic and staying in the centrally located Holiday Inn Boston at Beacon Hill, a comfortable 4-star hotel.
Usually there is a qualifying standard to enter the Boston Marathon, but we can offer guaranteed entry as overseas guests to non-qualifiers.
