Marathon winners and Victoria’s four-diamond, European-style luxury boutique hotel have a lot in common. They leave nothing to chance and are always striving to improve their personal best. Victoria’s spectacular fall weather is made for running and the Magnolia Hotel & Spa is the perfect home away from home for marathon participants and their supporters.
The 31st Annual Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon takes place on the auspicious date of 10/10/10 (Sunday, October 10, 2010) and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. The scenic route passes spectacular ocean and mountain vistas, the BC Legislative Buildings, Royal London Wax Museum, Ogden Point, the statue of Terry Fox at Mile ‘O’, Beacon Hill Park, Victoria Golf Course, and Oak Bay Village.
The Magnolia Marathoner two-night package includes accommodation in a superior room, deluxe continental breakfast each day (opening early on October 10th), and parking. A 60-minute post race treatment in Spa Magnolia starting with the Vital Leg Relief Treatment, followed by your choice of pedicure or 30-minute massage is also included. Add treatment for a second person for $119.00. Go the distance with a 3rd night and receive a $75 voucher for use in Prime Steakhouse. Two-night packages start from $239 per night and three-night packages from $219 per night.
The four-diamond Magnolia Hotel is infused with European elegance and is the perfect place to prepare for and unwind after the race. Guestrooms feature downtown and harbour views, custom-designed two-poster beds, floor to-ceiling windows that open, and fireplaces for diamond level rooms. In-room complimentary amenities include gourmet coffee, fresh fruit and bottled water. The opulent bathrooms feature marble cladding, glass walk-in showers and deep soaker tubs for the ultimate in bathing and relaxation. Attention to detail and service are in evidence everywhere, with complimentary continental breakfast served daily and fresh flowers and fruit in the lobby.
