Thank you all for looking after us & making sure we were where we were meant to be for both the Generali 5k & BMW Berlin Marathon. The hotel was perfect, great location, very clean & pleasant, helpful staff.

This was a wonderful weekend, the weather would have been lovely if we didn\'t have to run!

I did fracture my foot, x-rayed yesterday but it\'s minimal so hopefully not out of action for too long.

Our flight was cancelled but the airline put us up in a different hotel, that wasn\'t as good as yours.

Just reliving the weekend by looking at photos. It was definitely a wonderful experience.

Thank you again for taking care of us.

Best wishes

Hello Malcolm - just a quick note to thank you for the Berlin experience. I may not have achieved that which I set out to do but I still enjoyed the whole event. You (with Graham and John) did exactly what \'it said on the tin\'. A very well delivered event for a lot of people - many of whom, I expect, will have wanted specific tweaks to their itinerary. I know only too well all about event organisation and the difficulties and quirks it can throw up - you seem to roll very well with the punches!

Graham and John were excellent in their roles - please thank them for me.

It was my first (and last!) Major; Berlin was alive and buzzing with the whole thing and one felt privileged to be there. The whole city seemed to be behind the event.

In good time we will probably look at a half marathon in a venue which is of interest to us. I\'d be very grateful for your views on the half marathon of our choice as and when we make specific enquiries.

Hope your trip to Tbilisi was satisfactory and thanks again to all of you for your help, guidance, friendship and support.

Regards

Bob

Dear Malcolm, John and Graham,

We all wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for looking after us so well this weekend in Berlin.

I enjoyed my first Marathon and was so grateful for you escorting us runners to the start (which was my main worry). You really took the stress out of everything for me.

Lee and Lily had fun chasing me all around various points in the course, and they felt like they’d done a marathon too, so they tell me.

We were all so sad to have missed the party in the evening but just had nothing left to give unfortunately. I heard from others that it was great.

Berlin was great and would definitely visit again and use the same hotel, it was perfectly located. I’ve already recommended it to family if they are ever visiting.

We made it to the airport in great time with your help but our flight was the last one to leave just after midnight.

Other than the return flight we had an amazing weekend and really enjoyed our time there.

Thanks again

Nicola, Lee and Lily

Dear Malcolm, John and Graham,
Thank you so much for organising a fantastic Berlin marathon event. Everything was so thoughtfully done, leaving no room for guesswork. Look forward to a future event with you.
All the best,

Thanks for a great BMW Berlin Marathon trip. We’ve had a brilliant time. Hope your journey to Tbilisi was OK. We’re all checked in and sitting at the gate. Not too chaotic but glad we left a bit earlier. Look forward to seeing you at some point in the future. We will keep an eye on the website and try to fit in a few city breaks with perhaps some shorter runs.

Good afternoon Malcom, now I\'ve come back to reality 😊, I just wanted to say Thank you for everything over the Berlin Marathon weekend. This was only my third time travelling abroad and my first solo trip.
For someone who suffers from Anxiety, yourself, Graham and John made me feel welcome and kept me calm throughout my trip. I will definitely be booking with Running Crazy again next year because I have come away with some amazing memories and new friendships made 😊.

Again Thank you for everything and see you on my next adventure.



Many Thanks Dan 😊.

I just wanted to recommend the guys at Running Crazy Ltd to you if you ever fancy doing a marathon, half or 10k run abroad. Their organisation was just the best, they took the worry and stress away from you. From airport meet and transfer and carb loading meal the night before the race to taking us all to our start pens. They even organised an after race party- I didn\'t make this unfortunately but the others say it was great. Honestly they looked after me and my spectators so well and I can\'t praise Malcolm and his team enough!

Also Berlin was such an amazing place and would recommend a trip even if you aren\'t there for the running!

Hi Malcolm, John and Graham,

Thanks again for a fantastic experience in Berlin! Despite the heat it was great to take part in such an iconic event. We had delays at the airport as expected and eventually got home about 1:40 this morning, so feeling pretty knackered today! Everything slick and well-organised at the Running Crazy end as always.

Looking forward to our next trip whenever that is....!

Cheers,
Ewan and Zilpah

I’m delighted to have ‘run away with Running Crazy’ to take part in the Budapest Half Marathon. Having race entry and hotel organised for you makes it so easy. Malcolm could not have been more helpful and supportive, arranging pre and post-race meals, as well as giving us our race numbers and t-shirts and briefing us thoroughly before the race, accompanying us to the start and taking plenty of photos/videos which he edited in time for us to view the evening after the race. He knows Budapest very well and under his guidance we soon found our way around the very efficient public transport system and visited some of the main attractions of this beautiful city during the two days after the race.
This was my first trip with Running Crazy but I hope to book another very soon!

That is very kind of you - thank you very much. I wish there were more businesses out there with your values.
I hope Berlin goes brilliantly for your team next month.
Will definitely be back 👍

Thanks Malcolm for another great Running Crazy trip to Riga - my sixth, I think! Great organisation (as usual) and good company - even the wet weather didn\'t spoil things!

I look forward to seeing you in 2026 (hopefully in Budapest), and possibly in Tirana later this year. The \'girls\' are keen too, and even Glyn despite being outnumbered!

Thanks to Ken & John too.

Many thanks for another brilliant trip - this time Riga, Amanda and I had a great time.

So good in fact that we want to join you in Paphos next March. Could you send us the details so we can get booked up?

Once again, thanks to you, John and Ken for another superbly organised trip.

Thanks so much Running Crazy and the wonderful Malcolm Hargraves for organising such a great racing trip to Magaluf, Majorca.

Brilliant arrangements and fun as usual. And what fantastic support he gives. Thank you Malcolm.

Gosport Road Runners

Hello Malcolm

Gosport Road Runners (GRR) had a fabulous time in Paphos for their races in 2025. Some of our runners had some good personal times on this fairly flat course like running their fastest half since 2018 and achieving bronze and silver GRR award times.

The GRR camaraderie was in full glory over the 3 to 7 days that Running Crazy offered as options. We ate ice cream, swam, had fun and ran well.

The hotel was clean, staff helpful and charming, good food and the hotel location great not only for the races but the sea, beaches, walks and UNESCO sites.

Running Crazy did a great job looking after us and making us welcome from airport pick ups and a games night to providing bananas and \'checking in\' on us.

Thank you Malcolm and Running Crazy. We are excited to be looking at our options for running away with you next year.

Kind regards
Deborah

Hope all is well, a couple of things. I wanted to say thanks again to you guys for making everything fantastic for us in Benidorm. It made my first race abroad/mini holiday something good to remember. I really enjoyed having you guys there on hand, and it really does make a big difference.
