Entrants to the 2025 Torbay Half Marathon and 10k will have an extra incentive to extend their time on the English Riviera this autumn with the Ibis Styles Paignton and Mercure Paignton, which are official accommodation partners.
The events, which are due to be staged on Sunday 21st September, will showcase the spectacular South Devon coastline for the length of the fully traffic-free route. Participants will take in the iconic seaside town of Torquay before finishing by the sea on the famous Paignton promenade.
Part of the wider AccorHotels group, the largest hospitality company in Europe, both hotels will offer outstanding accommodation to participants and their families. Each hotel has an unenviable seaside location just metres from the event start and finish area and the perfect access to the wider English Riviera.
As part of a joint initiative, the Ibis and Mercure Paignton will offer event participants a discounted accommodation rate for those wishing to make a weekend of it.
Suzi Cumberland, Managing Director of event organisers Taurus said, “We are very pleased to be partnering with the Ibis and Mercure and this partnership boosts our ambitions to make the Torbay Half Marathon and 10k destination events for runners from across the UK and beyond.”
Jason Parry, General Manager of Ibis Styles Paignton and Mercure Paignton said “We are thrilled to partner with the Torbay Half Marathon and 10k, offering participants and their families exceptional seaside accommodations at our Ibis Styles Paignton and Mercure Paignton hotels.
