Happy Global Running Day!

Global Running Day is organised by the New York Road Runners and has been set up as a worldwide celebration of running that encourages everyone to get moving. It doesn’t matter how fast you run or how far you go—all that matters is that you take part, and how you do it is up to you. Over 180,000 people across the world have pledged to run to support Global Running Day aiming to inspire one million children to go for a run. This year, members of our team at Sports Tours International pledged to get their trainers on and run 5km! You can make your own pledge by clicking here.

Why we love running

We believe that running is for everyone and that it is a fantastic way of helping people lead active lifestyles. The physical benefits of running are obvious but running also helps improve mental wellbeing and it can be a great social activity which can create new friendships and social bonds.

Here at Sports Tours International, we take so much pride in organising our own races such as the UKFast We Love Manchester 10k, the UKFast City of Salford 10k, the Tour of Tameside, the Alder Hey 10k and family fun run and the City of Preston 10k which bring together and engage our local communities in the North West of England.

We are also very proud to take thousands of runners around the world to compete in some of the world’s best marathon and half marathon events. The Abbott World Marathon Majors are becoming increasingly popular as more and more runners want to receive their six star finisher status. We are an official International Travel Provider for the BMW Berlin Marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, the Tokyo Marathon and the Boston Marathon and our overseas running team go above and beyond to ensure our runners have a running trip they won’t forget.

Reykjavik Marathon – An Odyssey

Iceland is an island of unique and breath-taking landscapes, rich in culture and history, and phenomenal volcanic geology. Home to the world’s oldest parliament (the Alþingi), stunning National Parks and a unique music and art scene (celebrated the same weekend  as the Reykjavik Marathon ) there is something to entertain anyone in Iceland.
