Run Mummy Run, the leading free online running community for women, has announced Destination Sport Experiences as its Official Travel Partner.
With mass participation running events returning and the world slowly reemerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, the partnership with Destination Sport Experiences will make it easier for members of the Run Mummy Run community to travel to and take part in events in the UK and abroad.
Destination Sport Experiences is the newest name in sports travel and caters for those who want to participate in the very best running events across the world, offering travel packages and guaranteed entry to iconic marathons, half marathons and 10K’s in the UK and around the world.
This is the first official partnership in the travel sector for Run Mummy Run, after establishing that there is an appetite for destinations and complete travel packages allowing community members to meet up, race together, and combine it with a mini trip and some quality time away.
The tagline of “Do something extraordinary with Destination Sport Experiences” will resonate with many members, and events on offer include the BMW Berlin Marathon, the Paris Marathon, the New York Half Marathon, the Brighton Marathon & 10K, Edinburgh Marathon and more.
Booking through Destination Sport Experiences will give Run Mummy Run members access to races that can be difficult to enter, and with the peace of mind that every element of the trip will be taken care of. Destination Sport Experiences are fully ABTA bonded with an ATOL licence, ensuring that all trips are protected from any unforeseen events. There will also be a dedicated contact for the Run Mummy Run community.
The team behind the tours have run many of the marathons themselves and have a combined 100 years’ experience in taking runners to iconic events. Alongside guaranteed entry they also offer ideally located accommodation, transfers and guided support at events so that runners can focus on what really matters – the taking part.
Run Mummy Run was established in 2012 and is the leading online running community of its kind, connecting over 190,000 women through a shared love of running and activity across the various channels. RMR brings women runners together to support and motivate each other, whilst actively promoting kindness, friendship, love, support, equality and unity as core values.
Run Mummy Run also launched its own online run club affiliated with England Athletics in 2021, and the first ever Run Mummy Run podcast “Running Conversations. Real-life Stories from women who run”.

We are looking forward to supporting the Run Mummy Run community in securing entry and getting to events to achieve their running goals and make amazing memories along the way, with all the logistical stress taken out.”
