Thanks so much this means a lot! Unreal weekend all round and the group made it what it was 🙌 Glad you had a great time and we’ll see you on the next
Went on the Stride trip to Madrid. Hadn’t run a half marathon before or been on a trip like this with other people. It was seamlessly organised, thoughtfully crafted and, importantly, very fun. I would highly recommend to runners of all levels of experiences and goals. I’d also book another… after my recovery is over!!
Reply from Stride Tours
Glad it all felt seamless and more importantly, that you had a great time with the group. Massive effort on race day too 👏 We’ll give you some time to recover… then we’ll see you later this year...
The Stride boys absolutely smashed it on their first outing. Loved how they matched the running with fun, bringing everyone together with the social stuff but still leaving space for the race to be taken seriously.
Tender head and legs on the Monday for sure!

Appreciate this Jamie, that balance is what we’re aiming for so glad it came through. You brought great energy to the whole weekend 👏
Sounds like you did it well if Monday felt like that 😅
I came on the tour to support two friends who were running and I had the most fantastic time despite my lack of sporting prowess.
The comms from Josh and Dom were both informative and jokes, and everything felt so well organised from start to finish.
I loved the post run evening drinks especially- everyone was such great vibes despite some aching limbs and it was a truly fab group of people.
Would really recommend for anyone- the group ranged from those who run marathons for breakfast to those who it was their first big run and the atmosphere was so supportive. Would also recommend to those who want to watch their pals run! I felt really included and had the best time.

This is class, thank you for taking the time to write it!
We love that you came along to support and still had such a good time that’s exactly the kind of atmosphere we’re trying to create. The mix of people, abilities and energy is what makes these weekends.
Glad you enjoyed the celebrations too very well earned all round 😅
Hopefully see you (and your friends) on another one soon.
Absolutely loved every minute, everything was organised to a T, so you're able to just rock up and enjoy the race and city. Huge highlight was the post-race celebrations, being able to do that as part of a group makes it so much sweeter and the rooftop bar was unreal !! Thanks to Stride for making it unforgettable, can't wait for the next!
Reply from Stride Tours
You earned those post-race celebrations and yeah… that rooftop bar was a strong choice. Big part of what makes these trips is having a group to share it with and not just the run itself.
Glad you got stuck into the full experience Helen and we’ll see you on the next one!
From booking to race day, everything was seamless. Josh and Dom were incredibly thoughtful, supportive and organised - from accommodating our needs to sorting bib collection, dinners and logistics so we could just enjoy the experience. They even gave us a goodie bag with electrolytes and snacks and drinks. So thoughtful!
The whole trip felt inclusive and well run, especially for nervous runners doing their first half marathon (moi). Great value for money, lovely hostel, excellent food and a brilliant atmosphere throughout. They even got me a cake for my birthday 🥺
A really special experience - I’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend Stride to anyone looking to combine travel with a half marathon. Just make sure you train more than I did.
Reply from Stride Tours
Issy! You absolutely smashed your first half marathon (despite you mentioning the questionable training effort) and it was a pleasure having you on the trip. The birthday timing was too perfect not to celebrate properly.
Really appreciate you trusting us with your first one and we’ll be ready when you come back for the next.
A very enjoyable experience. A great group of people, very well organised and helped me to put my best foot forwards in the race, an unforgettable experience!

Appreciate this Matt! Unreal effort on race day 👏 Glad you enjoyed the weekend and the group that’s exactly what we’re going for. Hopefully the first of many with us.
What an experience with Josh and Dom! Was my first half marathon and was great to experience it with a very welcoming group of people. Everything was planned and organised which allowed me to focus on the run and many cervaces. Muy bueno
Reply from Stride Tours
Love this Jake, first half and straight into Madrid is a solid effort. Glad you could just focus on the run (and the cervezas 🍻). Big result all round.
It was my first time running a half marathon and doing it with Stride was the best decision! They handled everything with the marathon and organised the whole weekend which meant I could just focus on the running and having a fab time with the group!
Would highly recommend, especially for runners who want to meet people to share the experience with and enjoy a run abroad without any stress!
Reply from Stride Tours
Thanks Faye! First half marathons are always a big one so glad we could make it a smooth and fun experience for you. Hopefully see you on another soon.
Had a fab weekend with Stride tour. Perfect mix of doing a half marathon and having a weekend in the sun with great people!
Reply from Stride Tours
Thanks Claire, that balance is exactly what we’re aiming for, good race, good people, good weekend. Glad you had a great time!
Just went on the Madrid Movistar Marathon Tour and truly had the best time! It totally exceeded my expectations - the trip was so well organised and ran seamlessly, there was nothing for me to think about other than having a good time. When I arrived at the hostel the Stride team were there to meet me, had a goodie bag for me with my race bib already collected for me, and we headed straight out for a shakeout run and ice cream. After that they took us for a fabulous dinner and by the end the whole group felt like we’d known each other for ages! The next day we did the race then headed to an amazing beer and tapas place before meeting for dinner at 6 for an open bar and tapas at the most gorgeous rooftop bar. Couldn’t believe how much food and drinks was already included in the price, and the accommodation was super clean and nice and central! Overall 10/10 experience, I’ll 100% be back to run another half with Stride Tours, they are the best! Highly recommend. Thank you :)

Lucy this is class, really appreciate you taking the time to write it. You nailed the whole weekend from shakeout to race day to rooftop. The group energy was unreal and you were a big part of that. We’ll hold you to coming back again 👀
What a great trip. Lovely guys organising it. Fantastic vibes and organisation before and during the trip. The best way to do a half if you don't want the hassle of organising everything and want to meet other people and enjoy your time getting to know a new place.
Reply from Stride Tours
Thanks Larissa! That’s it, take the stress out and just enjoy the whole experience, so we're glad you felt the vibe from start to finish.
Incredible experience. Josh and Dom took care of absolutely everything; all we had to do was show up and run our best. Great choice of local spots for the social events and such a warm and fun experience. Would recommend to anyone; experienced runner or if it’s your first time!

Really appreciate this Alice! Means a lot. That’s always the goal, remove the hassle and create a proper fun group experience around the race. You smashed it.
