A specialized marathon tour operator built by runners, for runners.
I Run The Globe is a specialized marathon tour operator built by runners for runners. Our promise is clear: we secure your guaranteed race entry, provide premium accommodations near the start line, and expert logistical support so runners can focus on the only thing that matters, their training, their race, and the thrill of running in iconic cities worldwide.
Our runners come from across North America—from ambitious amateurs and dedicated club runners to passionate marathoners seeking expert guidance and a premium travel experience. I Run The Globe is known for reliable race access, world-class hotel partnerships, and a team that travels alongside you.
I Run The Globe began with a story rooted in Vancouver, BC. A close-knit group of runners, training partners, friends, and marathon enthusiasts traveled together to run the Paris Marathon. That trip sparked an important realization: organizing international races can be complicated, and runners deserve trusted teammates who can handle the logistics while they focus on training.
That moment became the catalyst for what would eventually grow into a global marathon travel company.
Today, we have expanded south of the border with an office in Washington State and are proud to support American runners from coast to coast. Yet our foundation remains deeply connected to our Pacific Northwest roots and to the belief that running is a team sport.We build community, remove friction, and make global races feel accessible, premium, and exciting.
We combine running travel planning with runner-first expertise. The result is a curated experience that respects your training, your budget, and your desire to explore the world. From our Vancouver roots to our global race partnerships, we focus on the details that make marathon travel easy.
We secure bibs for high-demand races so you are never left scrambling at the last minute. Every experience is backed by approved tour operator status with race organizers and verified entry access.
