Whisper has partnered with RunGP to support the launch of the global running competition and movement.
RunGP, powered by the Global Running League, is the world’s first professional, team-based running league, combining elite competition, team strategy, and mass participation on the world’s most iconic racetracks. Through a global rollout, RunGP merges motorsport and running into a new, immersive sports entertainment experience.
Endorsed by multiple Olympic, World and European champion, Sir Mo Farah and a world-class line up of international athletes, RunGP will introduce team competition formats to global audiences, uniting runners of all levels on Grand Prix racetracks.
Whisper is joining RunGP as a founding partner, delivering its production expertise and creative know-how, and multi-platform content creation to help inspire and engage people to move, build healthier communities, and impact real change.
The inaugural event was held at the Lusail International Circuit, and the inaugural film is available to stream on DAZN as well as on Eurovision Sport.
Marcel Muenster, founder and CEO of RunGP, said: “RunGP brings runners of all levels together on legendary race tracks; to push limits, forge connections and drive real change. Together with Whisper, we will redefine what running can be: blending elite performance, creativity and purpose to build a healthier, more connected planet.”
Sunil Patel, Whisper co-founder and CEO, said: “RunGP combines elements that Whisper is passionate about – building communities, creating compelling content with purpose, and using the power of sport to help deliver change. The events will feature some of the most iconic venues in motorsport, which will act as genuine inspiration for runners of all abilities to get involved. The team dynamic adds another really innovative element that speaks to Whisper’s disruptive nature. All this, along with the great stories of individual athletes and the team narrative, makes for a brilliant opportunity to help build something special.”
