It has been confirmed today that Goldline Events has acquired two mass participation road races in the UK – the Sage Reading Half Marathon incorporating the Green Park Challenge and Ikano Bank Robin Hood Marathon Events.
Formerly owned by Brasher Leisure, the two popular half marathon races are now part of Goldline Events’ expanding portfolio. Established in 1980, the Ikano Bank Robin Hood Marathon will celebrate 38 years of running this September ‘with Robin Hood and his Merry Men in tow’. Over 12,000 runners will take to the streets of Nottingham and experience a picturesque half marathon, mini marathon and mile routes in the UK. The Sage Reading Half Marathon, established in 1983, will return on Sunday 17 March 2019, cheering over 15,000 runners across the world-renowned Madejski Stadium finish line.
Every year, over 27,000 runners, from first timers and charity fundraisers to competitive runners and Britain’s Olympians, lace up for these events. Both help to raise millions for charities worldwide, with runners setting new personal bests and inspiring the next generation to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
Goldline Events Founder and Managing Director, Judith Manson said “I am delighted to announce that Goldline Events has acquired two of the most prestigious events in the running calendar, which are both unique and very special in their own way. This is a new chapter for the races and Goldline Events. We are very excited and really looking forward to working with all the current delivery partners and stakeholders to develop the races over the coming months and years.”
Other events in the Goldline Events portfolio include the goGIRL 5km fun run and beach party (Friday 28th June 2019) and corporate events for Sage Foundation employees and partners across the globe. The Sage Foundation events form part of a corporate wellness programme aimed at raising US$1 million for Sage’s chosen charity. To date, these corporate events have taken place in Johannesburg, Newcastle, Brazil and Toronto, with the next stop in Sydney.
