The house for the whole week, the certified coach, the performance mentor, the chef, every meal cooked in it, and every transfer once you land: airport, bib pick-up, the start line and back from the finish. Two things sit outside the price. Your flight, which you book yourself, and the race bib, which we buy at cost in your name and add to the balance.

There is no minimum time. What matters is arriving with marathon training behind you, because race week is the taper and not the build. First time marathoners and people chasing a personal best share the same house, and the runs we do together are at easy pace, so the pace never separates anyone.

Nine other runners of the same race. Every house is put together on pace, goals and age, and never on who applied first. Before a room is assigned there is a call of about twenty minutes, which is also where you get to ask us anything you want.

Yes, and two people who apply together keep the same room. Otherwise rooms are shared on pace, age and same gender. A single room can be requested: it takes two of the ten places, so it is worth asking early.

Tell us which one. Write on WhatsApp with the race and the year, and you hear from us when that house opens. Sprinta runs a handful of houses a year, one per race, and the calendar is built partly on what people ask for.

Until a room is assigned to you nothing has been charged. After the €300 deposit, if plans change, that amount stays available as credit on another Sprinta retreat for twelve months, and the room can pass to another runner.
