Alyssa Yell

Alyssa Yell

Trip Specialist

Alyssa Yell is a professional writer on the outside, and an insatiable adventuress on the inside.  Alyssa was introduced to Marathon Tours & Travel by way of Iceland, and fell in love with Marathon Tours while crossing the Drake Passage on her way to Antarctica, which remains her favorite place she’s visited. Her yearning to combine travel, running, and beautiful scenery is undying, and she brings an enthusiasm for exploration and a desire to see the world on foot to those around her.  Alyssa lives in the hills of San Francisco, California, and has completed dozens of marathons and ultramarathons on nearly every continent. When she’s not hitting the trails, she can be found backpacking, kayaking, and scheming up her next adventure.

Testimonials

2022 Marathon Tours Patagonia Trip

All three team members - Jeff, Ann and Alyssa - were available for questions and information. It is always a pleasure to to travel with MTT. Staff is friendly, make you feel comfortable and important, and provide the opportunity to achieve individual goals.

2022 Marathon Tours Patagonia Trip

Amazing team for Patagonia! Ann’s emails and follow-ups were great. Jeff’s daily announcements were useful. Allyssa was super fun, I love her energy and enthusiasm. What a great team!

2022 Marathon Tours Antarctica Experience

Fantastic job done, in the face of challenging and ever-changing COVID-related circumstances. The Marathon Tours staff were positive, smiling, accessible and maintained a positive attitude throughout.

2019 Marathon Tours Antarctica Experience

Paul, Alyssa, and Jeff were so much fun! They clearly blend well as a group, work together seamlessly, make sure everything is in place, and work around the clock for us. Loved getting to know them -- thank you!

2018 Antarctica Marathon Experience

I've already sung their praises, but Jeff, Paul, and Alyssa were fantastic. The logistics were handled and ran smoothly because of all of the behind the scenes work that these guys did. Excellent excellent job.

 

2017 Marathon Tours Great Wall Trip

The race was fabulous, but sharing it with the people I met on the trip -- including the MT folks -- made it so much more memorable. It was this incredible group vibe of excitement and anxiety. I had so much admiration for everyone I met, who, like me, wanted to take on this challenge and visit this far away place. I never thought I'd say this, but I loved being part of a tour that involved riding on buses with new friends. It was like camp for grown-ups, and I didn't want it to end.

2017 Marathon Tours Tokyo Trip

I think Marathon Tours has an exquisite trip to the Tokyo Marathon. There really isn't a thing I'd change. Also, I should mention that each member of the Marathon Tours staff (I will not mention all the names as I fear I'd leave someone out), went above and beyond to make the event amazing. Then on the Kyoto extension, Nicole (who from the very early planning stages amazed me with her responsiveness and attention to detail) and Alyssa were THE BEST. 

2016 Marathon Tours Berlin Trip

This was my second trip with Marathon Tours and once again it didn't disappoint. Everything, start to finish, was well organized and the delivery was exactly as outlined. Great hotels: centrally located for easy expo & race access, and to Berlin sites and attractions. Enjoyed and appreciated the reception and pre-race dinner, bus tour, transportation to & from the 6km breakfast run, etc., etc. It was great to meet Nicole (especially after exchanging emails for so many months/years), along with Alyssa, Jacqui, etc. . Also to connect with fellow Canadians Christine and Paul. I appreciated Jeff's personal participation in all the events and his vision for the future of the company and recognition of the staff who will make it all possible.
