Run the London Marathon by redeeming your IHG Rewards Club points

Something a little different has appeared on the IHG Auctions website.

IHG has secured two places for the 2020 London Marathon on 26th April – an event which is so popular that places are allocated by ballot – and is offering them for a points auction.

There are two packages – one of which will go for a modest price and one of which will go for a high price.

The cheaper package includes your race place, one night at Holiday Inn London Stratford City (which I reviewed here), a £50 dinner credit, breakfast and coach travel to the race.

The luxury package includes two nights in a deluxe room at InterContinental London O2 (which I reviewed here), a Swedish massage, breakfast and coach travel to the race.

Go here to bid for the Holiday Inn package (current bid of 9,000 points).

Go here to bid for the InterContinental package, which at the time of typing is at 58,000 points.

Bids close on 6th January, which will give you around 15 weeks to get in shape!
