Up N Travel

Up N Travel provides travel packages for running adventures around the globe so you can reach your goals without stress.

Up N Travel is a running adventure travel company started by people who have a desire to share the energy and passion which can be felt when you are standing at the start line of any event around the world. Whether you are a first-time runner, a seasoned veteran of multiple events or part of the cheer squad for a loved one, we can cater for you.

That feeling of excitement you get from being able to share your goal with other participants, friends and family members is one that we all cherish. However with transport, accommodation, timing and equipment issues weighing on your mind, the stress of getting everyone there can often be the most significant obstacle in you enjoying your race day experience.

At Up N Travel we want to remove that stress and make sure you can reach the start line with enough energy to cross the finish line because you haven't had to spend too much of it on you or your family's travel arrangements. At the same time we want to make sure that those people who came to watch you have also had their needs taken care of so they can enjoy themselves and share in your achievement.

Using our combined 40 + years of travel and running experience, the Up N Travel team will provide running travellers and their loved ones with packages which ensure that the strongest memory you have of your race day is how good it felt to cross that finish line, rather than how hard it was to get there.

For all your running adventure travel needs, contact the Up N Travel team and let us take care of the rest.
