In these challenging times, we have enjoyed taking a little time to remember all of the fun we've had over the years taking you on active vacations. We are sharing some here over the next few weeks, and hope it will bring a smile to your day!
Today's pictures are from the South of France trip a few years ago - the pouring rain did not stop this bike tour, or the enthusiasm of these vacationers.
"I have hundreds of favorite memories, but, this one seems to embody the spirit of this group." -John Bingham
"That ride was a hoot." - Gord Baldwin

Congratulations to Kim Groshek who completed her quest to run a half marathon in all fifty states at the Glacier Half Marathon in Juneau, Alaska!
50 States Club
We Run the World.
Ten years ago, John Bingham and Jenny Hadfield teamed up to create unique adventures for runners and walkers of all abilities. From cruising the beautiful Inside Passage of Alaska, to sailing the sun kissed islands of the Caribbean, to exploring the countryside of Tuscany, John and Jenny’s vision for Marathon Expeditions has expanded the horizons of people who want to discover the world with their own two feet.
Whether it’s feeling the salt spray on your face or standing on top of a mountain peak, participants in Marathon Expeditions events are challenged to find something more in themselves than they ever thought possible. At the end of the day, as they enjoy quiet time with family and friends, they can reflect on a planet that is both larger and smaller than they thought.
At Marathon Expeditions, we believe that the soul of the explorer is inside of each of us. And, we believe, that the best way to explore a region, a country, a city, or a culture is from the ground level, and on your own two feet. A rugged landscape, a rain forest trail, or a city street are all paths to discovery.
Marathon Expeditions trips bring the world to you, and you to the world. And in the end you will be making like-minded active friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
