We start by chatting with Ben Kimenkul (@bensbigdeal on Instagram), who shares why marathon runners should consider earning travel points over cash back, and how these points can be a game-changer for race-related travel.

We also discuss essential benefits like TSA Precheck, lounge access, and rental car insurance that can make travel smoother and more cost-effective. For those tall athletes who need extra legroom, Ben covers how to use points for first-class cabins and hotel stays to enhance your race experience. Ben also shares insider tips on using points to book last-minute flights, covering race entry fees, and finding the best credit cards for marathoners, like the BILT card for earning points on rent or the Capital One Venture X for families. He emphasizes the importance of strategic spending to accumulate points and offers advanced tips to avoid baggage fees, such as linking your reservation to someone with elite status. Following this, we talk to Chris Heuisler, the Running Concierge at Westin Hotels, about how Westin supports marathon runners with specialized amenities and services, including nutritious food options, tailored environments for performance and recovery, and partnerships with local race organizers. Chris shares insights on what runners should consider when selecting a hotel for their marathon travel and how Westin accommodates the specific needs of runners, particularly those traveling across time zones.
