RunThrough, the UK’s largest and Europe’s fastest-growing running events company, has announced a strategic partnership with Brooks Running, a leading name in performance running footwear.
This collaboration marks an exciting synergy between two entities dedicated to inspiring and supporting runners of all abilities across RunThrough’s extensive event series.
Brooks Running will serve as the Official Running Partner for all RunThrough events.

The partnership will also see the recently announced Brooks Running Collective, of 24 members, actively participating in RunThrough’s events, embodying the brand’s dedication to collective integration and shared running experiences.
Beyond footwear, Brooks Running will contribute valuable insights and advice to RunThrough’s community through online hubs, providing runners with expert guidance and support on their running journey. The partnership aims to enrich the overall runner experience, from gear selection to training insights, creating a holistic approach to running that aligns with the ethos of both brands.
