Let’s kick off with a chat, wherever you are!
Runners tend to be pretty awesome people, so there’s a good chance we will get along. That’s very important to me. Our first conversation is all about discovery and getting to know one another. Also understanding ‘Our Why’.
I’m sure we will quickly know if we both want to be in this together and build this exciting network of running tours across Australia, one hub at a time. It has to be a ‘hell yeah!’ from both of us though.
Ready to chat for real? Reach out today and let’s explore the possibilities together!
