Motiv Sports and Vacation Races, which specialise in North American mass participation events, have announced that travel tech company HotelPlanner will serve as their Official Hotel Search Engine Partner.
The partnership covers all 15 Vacation Races events and 11 Motiv Sports events. It will see HotelPlanner integrated across the digital platforms and social media streams of both event brands. Athletes will have access to a booking platform, which offers discounted rates on accommodation and 24/7 US-based support.
Crystian Kumnick, Managing Director of Motiv Sports, said “We are excited to name HotelPlanner as our Official Hotel Search Engine Partner for all our events, as they are uniquely positioned to support our athletes with the best hotel search capabilities and pricing in the business.”
Kumnick continued “Our customers, regardless of experience, fitness level, or speed, set goals and exceed them. To do this they all need a great night’s sleep at great rates. Hotelplanner will ensure that our athletes find the perfect hotel for every time they race with us.”
Accommodation benefits will be available to participants in various endurance events, such as the Bay to Breakers, the 2XU Long Beach Marathon, the Surf City Marathon, and the Zion and Yosemite Half Marathons.
Based in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Motiv Sports acquired Vacation Races in 2024. The group manages a portfolio of 11 endurance events, while Vacation Races focuses on destination half marathons, ultra marathons, and ‘trailfests’ located near national parks.
Tim Hentschel, Co-CEO of HotelPlanner, said “It will be great to support Motiv Sports and Vacation Races by providing great hotel choices at great rates. Together we will ensure that all the athletes get a great night’s sleep.”
HotelPlanner, which is based in West Palm Beach, FL, uses artificial intelligence and a service network to manage hotel bookings and group travel for its clients.
