Realbuzz, the charity race specialist and fundraising platform, has announced a new partnership with personalised running coaching app, Runna.
Under the agreement, Runna becomes the official coaching platform for Realbuzz’s network of charity runners, offering a range of tailored training plans.
Founded in 2021, Runna is a subscription-based running coaching app that is available in over 180 countries. It was a finalist for Apple’s App of the Year in 2024 and was acquired by Strava earlier this year.
The partnership follows Realbuzz reporting a record-breaking financial year in 2024-25. The company’s Impact Report states that it facilitated over £12.6 million in charitable fundraising across nearly 50 events, supporting 15,796 runners.
Kirsty Angove, Chief Marketing & Operations Officer at realbuzz, said “This partnership is all about empowering our runners to not just cross the finish line, but to do it feeling strong, supported, and confident.
“Runna’s coaching app brings structured training to every runner’s pocket, and we’re excited to bring this level of support to our community.”
Realbuzz runners will gain access to a complementary two-week trial of the Runna app, with coaching plans designed for a wide range of fitness levels. Runna’s content and tips will also be featured on Realbuzz’s event websites and blogs.
Ben Parker, Co-founder and Head Coach at Runna, said “Partnering with an organisation with such a meaningful purpose as Realbuzz is something we’re incredibly proud of.
“Together, we’ll be helping their amazing runners train smarter, reduce injury risk, and improve performance – ultimately enabling them to raise more money and create a true impact for their brilliant causes.”
The collaboration will also see the two organisations work together on activations across some of Realbuzz’s partner events, including the 2025 BMW Berlin Marathon and the 2026 Tokyo Marathon.
