WRP are currently busy finalising the details of their tour to next years marathon – the first to be sponsored by Virgin.

At the same time we thought that as it was our 21st anniversary it was a good time to re-vamp our website and we hope to publish the new site on or before 1st September.

However, that need not deter those wanting to book right now. This is not only possible immediately but also, if you definitely want a particularly popular hotel, very sensible. At Novotel Tower Bridge a quarter of the rooms are already reserved and at Novotel ExCeL (opposite Race Registration and the Race Expo) 75% of the rooms are currently “on reserve”.

If you have applied for a ballot place then why not make a “no deposit reservation” right now with WRP. This can either be confirmed in early October when the results are know – or simply released should you have been unlucky.

If you are thinking of running for a charity then do remember that over 50 major charities recommend WRP services to their runners and this year we are delighted to be working closely with CLIC Sargent – the official race charity for the 2010 Virgin London Marathon. All are recommending WRP accommodation packages to all their runners and if you want contact details then, as with all other charities, go to the relevant website. If in doubt just call or e-mail and we’ll tell you who to contact.

In the meanwhile, if you need any help or advice about WRP, the 2010 Virgin London Marathon or our weekend packages then we will be only too happy to help.
