The 2022 international marathons that you can still sign up for

Many of us runners love the idea of running an international marathon. The trouble is, it’s sometimes really tough to get a spot. And even if you do make the ballot, organising the trip around your marathon training plan can be a bit of a headache.

Enter Sports Tours international. They offer race packages which include the race entry, flights and hotel rooms and even start-line coach transfers. All you have to do is rock up at the airport with your best running shoes – oh, and be ready to run, of course!

The best part is that they still have spaces available for some sold-out races happening later in 2022. We caught up with them to find out which races are still to come…
