New client looking for a challenge in the New Year? Book a stay at Patagonia Camp during the Patagonia Camp Cup Trail Running & Party in May 2020 and receive 15% off!!

January is not only a busy time for booking holidays, but it is also when many people look for the next challenge for the year ahead. Running has become an increasingly popular past time, with new challenges and competitions popping up across the UK. Why not get clients running off the streets and pavements, and running amongst the forests and the mountains in Patagonia?

For clients looking for that something a bit different, tempt them with the Patagonia Camp Cup Trail Running & Party. The race will take place on the 23rd May 2020, and is an event full of outdoor adventure, sports, and a lot of fun. Clients can choose from three distances along the trails where Patagonia Camp is located. This year, the three distances vary from 15KM, 21KM or for the more daring, 42KM. Enjoy the spectacular autumn landscape of Patagonia, running among colourful native trees, snowy mountain ranges, turquoise lakes, and the impressive Paine massif. Patagonia Camp has created 2, 3 or 4-night programs designed for runners and their families or friends to enjoy the best of Patagonia.

If you book from now up until the 31st of January 2020, you can offer clients an additional 15% off in conjunction with your existing rates. Please note this is subject to availability, with limited places available, and only for those interested in joining the running event. For more information, please click here to find out more.
