This weekend is the 2012 Vancouver International Marathon! The city will welcome 15000 people from all around the world for this great event!  If you love to run, as I do, you know how nice it feels to have a massage or body treatment to soothe your muscles after this effort.

The Spa at the Wedgewood provides decadent massages such as the Deep Tissue/Sports Massage, the perfect one for runners after the marathon. This experience will be unforgettable and you will be tempted to return!

After running a marathon of 42.2 km or 21.1 km (half marathon) there is no better experience than a time of relaxation and well being!

For your enjoyment, the team of the Spa at the Wedgewood Hotel is happy to welcome all runners who wish to enjoy a moment of Zen.

This is the perfect location to relax and reward yourself in a luxurious atmosphere.

The Spa at the Wedgewood is offering rejuvenating treatments for sore muscles, the therapeutic 60-Minute or 90-Minutes Rosemary Sports Massage and Eucalyptus Steam Bath will allow you to relax. Or, you can share a unique experience with a friend with the 60-Minute or 90-Minute Rosemary Deep Tissue Duet Massage And Eucalyptus Steam Bath.

Will you be part of the experience this weekend?
