We appreciate how every detail was taken care of making this a great experience. We highly recommend the Samoa Marathon - Kevin Brosi (US).
We always have an amazing time when we come to Samoa. The race was tough in the heat but we were made to feel like champions when we finished - Vince & Kirsty Sesto (NZ).
Thank you so much for all that you did for us for our trip to Samoa. We appreciate all of the time you took to arrange the logistics before arriving and making sure everything went smoothly while we were here. Our driver during the race was wonderful! He made sure we had light and no dogs approaching us too closely. He did an excellent job, and we are now spoiled for other races! Seti, thank you again for making our trip to Samoa so memorable. We will certainly mention the Samoa Marathon to other runners - Elizabeth Gmerek.
