Our Business Philosophy
The RTST philosophy is to provide unmatched service so our clients can concentrate on having an exceptional
experience. We want everyone to feel as if they have become part of our family.
Family is the key word. We focus on both the athlete and the family members who accompany him or her. Endurance
events take time to prepare, and we know first hand the sacrifices family make to allow athletes the time they need to prepare.
We make those sacrifices pay off by providing a family travel liasion each trip. The Run-Tri liasion will make sure
the needs of your family are taken care of so the athlete can focus on the event. Need diapers at 3am? You
sleep, we head off to the store!
Run-Tri Sports Travel and Adventure Guys Sports Travel look forward to welcoming your family into ours!

Our Company
Run-Tri Sports Travel Group provides customized and pre-planned trips to endurance sports events throughout the
world. We specialize in taking groups to triathlons and marathons, offering a full service travel experience.
Run-Tri Sports Travel focuses on athletes who bring family members to endurance events. Run-Tri focuses attention
on the athlete as well as those who are there in support. We have trip liasions for both the athletes and guests on
these trips. Our aim is to make the trip stress free for the athlete, allowing for complete focus on the event.
We also recognize the need to make sure family and friends are properly assisted to provide as much support as necessary.
Adventure Guys Sports Travel focuses on athletes who are travelling alone. We aim to provide an environment where
we focus on your individual needs during your travel experience. We have at most a 10 to 1 athlete/liaison ratio per
trip. We have been there, we know what it takes. All you need to do is get prepared, we will make it easy
to perform your best!

| `Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who are we to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won`t
feel insecure around you... And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As
we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.`...Nelson Mandella, 1994 |
