Sports Travel International to Sponsor Virtual Irish Runner Race Series
Athletics Ireland Official Travel Partner Sports Travel International, Ireland’s running travel experts, is to sponsor the 2021 virtual editions of the Irish Runner 5k, Irish Runner 5 Mile, and Irish Runner 10 Mile.
This will be the second edition of the Virtual Irish Runner Race Series and organisers are already looking to build on the success of the 2020 Virtual Irish Runner Race Series which saw thousands of runners from all around the country take on the virtual 5k, 5 Mile and 10 Mile distances.
Sports Travel International Director of Sales and Customer Engagement, Brendan Fox said:
“Sports Travel International are delighted to sponsor the Virtual Irish Runner Race Series. These events have always been a staple of the athletics calendar in Ireland and it’s great to see the tradition continue even when Covid-19 restricts us from hosting the Phoenix Park events which we’ve come to know and love. Both ourselves in Sports Travel International and Athletics Ireland share a passion for running and we look forward to carrying the success of last year’s virtual events into the 2021 series.”
Hamish Adams, CEO Athletics Ireland, commented;
“We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with Sports Travel International on the Virtual Irish Runner Race Series. We see this partnership as a great way for us to showcase running to an even wider audience, and we encourage all of our members and the recreational running community in Ireland to get involved.”
The new sponsorship will see Sports Tours International as title sponsor for all three Virtual Irish Runner events, the first of which be the Virtual Irish Runner 5k which will take place over the weekend of February 27th and 28th 2021.
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in many rediscovering the importance of regular physical activity and the benefits of being outdoors and the Irish Runner Race Series organisers have committed to having these events as free to enter with registration details available at www.athleticsireland.ie
