Marathon Problem? Ask Frank Barrett.
Marathon Problem? Ask Frank Barrett. Q MY HUSBAND has become a very keen runner over the past 12 months and now wants to take part in this year’s New York Marathon. If you could help us arrange this for him, we may be able to spend a tranquil summer without him fretting about this 24 hours a day and driving us all round the bend. Desperate Housewife, by email A OH DEAR. The bad news is that securing a place for the New York Marathon is not easy - it is one of the world’s greatest road races, drawing more than 100,000 applicants annually. However, there is some good news - Sports Tours International (0161 7038161, www.sportstoursinternational.co.uk) has a limited number of places left for the race on November 1. It is offering three nights’ hotel accommodation, race entry, transportation to the start line in Staten Island, official finisher certificate and a place at the post-race party for £748 per person. This package is valid until the closing date for race entries on August 31. |
