Westin Hotels & Resorts has partnered with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series of entertainment-themed road-running events to offer marathon packages in various U.S. markets. Offerings include pre-race pasta dinners and group warm-up runs as well as VIP race bib pickup and access to Westin’s on-site recovery tent.
The Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide brand also is hosting a nationwide search for its new RunWestin Concierge, who will serve as the on-site running expert for Westin guests participating in Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series events as well as connect with Westin runners through social channels before and after the race. Throughout the year, the RunWestin Concierge will travel to key Rock ‘n’ Roll races and will be available at the local Westin property to meet with runners. From now until July 1, Westin is screening candidates online who have completed several marathons, have a strong running knowledge base and demonstrate an ability to inspire and motivate others. The final three candidates will appear for qualifying interviews at the Chicago race weekend July 19-21, and the winner will make his or her first appearance at the Philadelphia race weekend, September 13-15.
“Westin is deeply committed to its evolving fitness programming designed to make living a healthy lifestyle convenient for our guests,” said Brian Povinelli, global brand leader for Westin Hotels & Resorts. “We are excited to partner with Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series to build on our existing RunWestin program. Together, we offer all the tools to help runners have the ultimate race experience away from home, whether a first-timer or seasoned veteran.”
