Running didn’t always come naturally to me. I only picked it up in my mid-twenties (a few years ago) and it completely changed my life. What started as a simple hobby turned into something that grounded me, cleared my mind, and helped me feel stronger than ever.

When I moved from Melbourne to London, suddenly Europe was right there…endless cities, new routes, and races that doubled as weekends away. I ran my first marathon in Paris and was hooked. Each race became a reason to travel, meet new people, and push myself in new ways.

But there was one thing missing: people to share it with. I’d book races solo, explore new cities alone, and always wish there was a group of girls who loved that same mix of running and adventure.

When I started sharing my trips online, I quickly realised I wasn’t the only one. So many girls said they wanted to do a race abroad but didn’t know where to start or simply didn’t want to do it alone.

That’s how Half Mara Holiday Club began.

It’s a space for women who want to travel, run, and connect - without the stress of planning it all solo. We organise group trips to half marathons across Europe so you can focus on the fun: exploring new places, crossing finish lines together, and making memories that last far beyond race day.

Whether you’re training for your first half or looking for your next adventure, you’ll find your people here ✨
