Perfect Pace Racecations

Where training meets travel.

Small-group running trips for women. Pick a bucket-list race in a beautiful place, train toward it with structure and support, then cross the finish line surrounded by people who got you there.

The idea

A trip anchored around a race.

A racecation is how challenge-chasing travelers are exploring the world: a scenic destination, with the trip built around a race. Add structured training, elevated travel and a supportive group of women, and it becomes about far more than the finish line.

Who it's for

  • Women with a race on their bucket list who don't want to do it alone
  • Runners returning after a break, or building toward a goal
  • Anyone who wants accountability, support and community
  • Travelers who want the trip to feel rewarding and luxurious

Why do it together

  • Training alongside others builds momentum and belief
  • Shared goals create accountability
  • A beautiful destination makes the journey as powerful as the finish line

When women train together, confidence grows and goals feel closer, faster.

“Monica took my goal of running a half marathon as seriously as I did. Since I had only started running the year prior, her guidance on pacing and ‘fueling’ was essential. She has a wonderful way of keeping you accountable without it feeling overwhelming. Thanks to her constant check-ins and approachable coaching, I crossed the finish line in December feeling strong and incredibly proud.”

Your coach

Monica Acree

I've experienced firsthand how achieving fitness goals can unlock confidence far beyond the run: in work, relationships and life. For over 20 years in corporate leadership, my greatest strength was helping people stretch beyond what they believed was possible.

I know how often women hold themselves back. I also know, without question, that we're capable of far more than we think. My approach blends structure, encouragement, mental strength and real-world balance.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need to be an experienced runner?

No. The program is designed for women at different stages, whether you're training for a half, stepping up from a shorter distance, returning after a break, or just want to race with support. You should be comfortable running consistently, but perfection isn't required.

Do I have to follow the 14-week program?

Not at all. The program is there to support and guide you, but you're free to follow your own training or simply join for the racecation experience. We'll also organise optional group runs if you'd like to train together.

What if I fall behind or miss a week?

That's real life, and it's expected. The program is flexible and supportive, with adjustments made as needed. The goal is sustainability, not perfection.

Can I bring a friend who doesn't want to race?

Yes. Non-racing companions are welcome to join you at Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor and enjoy the hotel, spa and social elements of the trip. Inclusions for non-racing guests are available on request.

Can I attend alone?

Yes. We can pair you with a roommate so you have a ready-made running buddy and travel companion. A private room upgrade is available for USD 1,998.

Why should I sign up early?

Our stay at Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor is secured through a limited preferential package that isn't available to the public. Rooms are held in a small allocation, and once they're gone we can't guarantee availability or pricing. It's a very popular hotel for race weekend.
