Great organisation, when you enter an event the communication is fantastic, they post the relevant information and medals out straight away. I have never had any problems everything is simple and smooth

The running bug is an amazing company
The running bug is an amazing company and I couldn’t fault them at all. Recently I have collaborated with them on their 2026 edition of their World Cancer Day run and they have supported me and my content creation since the start of 2026. They are always so very quick in responding and their medals are of good quality. They also have a fast delivery service and this is brilliant when you need your medal quickly
