Run Weekends Reviews 96

What a week! I couldn't have asked for more - our group of lovely runners is what made it, including Nick and Alice, who put in such a great effort to make our week one to remember.

When telling people I was going on a running holiday in Dubai, most people looked at me like I was from another planet but, honestly, it turned out to be such a good idea. We ran, we ate, we laughed and we ran some more. Seeing the city, enjoying the sunshine, being part of a lovely group, and making time for mini-adventures in and around Dubai made the trip something I don't think any of us will forget.

I can't recommend Run Weekends enough - it's a wonderful concept and reminds me just how lovely the running community is.

When Run Weekends say no one gets left behind, I was worried I'd still be the slow one and maybe the group would split by ability. No, it truly was so inclusive and we ran together, every run including the marathon day. A lot of it was chatty-pace and I loved having that time to get to know everyone in the group.

I did the Dubai trip and it totally exceeded expectations. Didn't know if I'd even like Dubai, but exploring the city by running, as well as all the extra activities that were included, was truly special. The team was well organised, the activities great, and it will be a holiday I'll remember for a long time! Thanks to Nick and co for a fun week!

When booking the trip I had quite neutral expectations, I had been to Dubai a few times before and my primary purpose of booking was to get away on a run week somewhere with some sunshine!

But the trip has exceeded expectations in every way! Nick and team (Alice for this trip) were available from before and throughout the trip to ensure you just have the best experience.

Each day there is usually a run of some sort (from 8-10k and the longer marathon day) but there is a bigger focus on the social and community aspect on running throughout the week by the way in which the other excursions and opportunities to just hang out with other runners are interwoven in the trip!

Trips on the harbour yacht cruise, dune buggying in the desert, a trip on the local abra in Old Dubai are all included. Plus as a big foodie, the choices of food are great and again mix between the modern cafes/restaurants in Dubai with the local food in the desert and Arabian Teahouse.

I love my races and they have a purpose but if you really want a weekend/week to enjoy just the joy and positive benefits that running brings, I highly recommend that you take a look at these trips.

This was amazing!! What an experience! Highly recommend.

An incredible trip! Run Weekends brought together a group of people who'd mostly never met but shared a love for running and exploring - and this is what this trip is all about! We spent three days together, two days in the hills running at a chill pace, laughing, smiling, chatting and getting to know each other and also got to see Kosovo's two largest cities.

Overall, the weekend was super well organised, great fun with great people, and simply an awesome experience. Thank you Run Weekend - see you again soon :)

Exceptionally well put together. There was great communication from start to finish. The team do such a great job to bring the essence and closeness of the running community to brilliant adventures. It was such a close knit trip, I can't wait to join them again.

Had an awesome experience with run weekends in Kosovo. Great running, great scenery (who knew!), and a great bunch of people who shared the same passion for running. Will def be joining again
